VMC 7548 Hybrid X-Short 1X Strong Hook 4 3.55g Black Nickel

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

The VMC 7548 in size 4 (3.55 g) is an extra-short shank treble hook engineered to arm crankbaits and diving lures without tangling on hardware or fouling on cover.

Extra-Short Shank for Snag Reduction

The abbreviated shank keeps the hook close to the lure body, reducing the chance of snagging on vegetation, rocks, or the lure's own split rings and bill. This design is ideal for shallow-running crankbaits and any plug that demands a compact hook profile to maintain action and avoid hang-ups.

Extra-Wide Gap for Secure Hooksets

Despite the short shank, the 7548 features an extra-wide gap that offers plenty of bite, improving hookup ratios on aggressive strikes. The black nickel coating delivers corrosion resistance and a low-visibility finish that won't spook wary fish.
