VMC 8117S Live Bait X-Strong Hook 5/0 13.42g

VMC 8117S Live Bait X-Strong Hook 5/0 – Powerful Hook for Large Live Baits

The VMC 8117S in size 5/0 is a heavy-duty stainless steel hook engineered for demanding live bait presentations. With its robust construction and corrosion-resistant finish, this hook handles aggressive predators and harsh saltwater conditions with confidence.

Extra-Strong Construction for Powerful Fish

Built with a reinforced wire diameter and stainless steel material, the 8117S delivers exceptional strength when targeting larger species. The ringed eye provides a secure connection to your leader, while the X-strong design resists straightening under heavy loads. This hook is built to land the fish you hook, even when using lively baits that attract aggressive strikes.

Inward Cone Cut® Point for Reliable Hooksets

The chemically sharpened Cone Cut® point features an inward angle that penetrates quickly and holds firmly. This point geometry reduces the chance of the hook pulling free during the fight, particularly when fishing with crabs or other live baits that require solid hooksets. The design ensures the point finds purchase even on hard-mouthed species.
