VMC 7548 Hybrid X-Short 1X Strong Hook 8 1.7g Black Nickel

VMC 7548 Hybrid X-Short 1X Strong Hook — engineered to keep crankbaits running true

The VMC 7548 in size 8 (1.7 g) is a short-shank treble hook built for lures that demand compact hardware and snag resistance.

Extra-short shank prevents tangling

The X-short design keeps hooks tight to the lure body, reducing fouling on crankbaits, lipless cranks, and small hardbaits. The shortened shank also improves clearance around split rings and bib lips, so your lure tracks cleanly through cover.

Extra-wide gap secures hooksets

A wide gap delivers more bite surface and a better hold, even when fish strike short. The 1X strong wire balances penetration and holding power without adding excessive weight that would alter lure action.
