VMC 8117S Live Bait X-Strong Hook 2/0 4.88g

VMC 8117S Live Bait X-Strong Hook 2/0 — Built for Robust Live-Bait Fishing

The VMC 8117S in size 2/0 is a stainless steel ringed hook engineered for live-bait presentations where strength and corrosion resistance matter most.

Extra-Sharp Cone Cut® Point for Secure Hook-Ups

The inward-pointing Cone Cut® geometry delivers exceptional sharpness and penetration, ensuring your live bait stays hooked through aggressive strikes and hard runs. The curved point design reduces the chance of the bait tearing free during the fight.

Stainless Steel Construction for Saltwater Durability

Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this hook stands up to saltwater environments and extended immersion. The x-strong wire diameter provides extra holding power for larger baitfish and crustaceans without straightening under load.
