VMC 7548 Hybrid X-Short 1X Strong Hook 10 1.14g Black Nickel

VMC 7548 Hybrid X-Short 1X Strong Hook — Tangle-Free Crankbait Performance

The VMC 7548 treble hook in size 10 (1.14 g) features an extra-short shank design that keeps your crankbaits running true and snag-free through cover.

Extra-Short Shank for Snag Resistance

The abbreviated shank length reduces the chance of trebles tangling with each other or snagging vegetation and structure. This compact profile is engineered specifically for crankbaits and plugs that need a shorter hook to maintain proper action and avoid fouling during retrieves through timber, grass, and rocks.

Extra Wide Gap for Secure Hooksets

The wide gap geometry increases hooking percentage on short strikes and ensures solid penetration even when fish hit from awkward angles. Combined with 1X strong wire, the hook delivers reliable holding power for pike, bass, zander, and perch without adding excessive weight that would compromise lure action.
