VMC 8255S O'Shaughnessy — Stainless Reliability for Every Saltwater Situation

The VMC 8255S in size 2 delivers the classic O'Shaughnessy bend in corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ready for wreck fishing, down-tiding, and all-round saltwater applications where rust is the enemy.

Versatile for All Types of Sea Fishing

The O'Shaughnessy pattern has proven itself across generations of saltwater anglers. This hook handles fish baits, mackerel strips, squid, and shellfish with equal confidence, whether you're targeting cod over wrecks or flatfish on the drift. The medium-wire construction balances penetration with holding power.

Stainless Steel for Extended Corrosion Resistance

Unlike standard carbon steel hooks that rust within hours in saltwater, the stainless coating on the 8255S extends usable life significantly. Pre-rig traces at home, store them ready in your tackle box, and fish them weeks later without the red stain of oxidation weakening your point. Ideal for boat anglers who prepare rigs in advance or shore fishermen facing spray and humidity.
