They are single sea-fishing hooks for baitfish, mackerel, squid and other natural baits. The supplier particularly highlights wreck fishing and down-tiding, so they fit natural-bait rigs for these situations rather than being complete rigs themselves.
Sizes run from #6 through #4, #2 and #1 to #1/0–#7/0. Choose the size to suit your bait, intended fish and method. The #6/0 and #7/0 packs each contain 10 hooks. For the other sizes, packaging says 25 pieces but another quantity field says 5, so no definitive count is given here.
Yes. Stainless steel provides corrosion resistance, but the supplied safety guidance calls for checking hooks for damage, bent points and rust. Replace damaged or corroded hooks and store them dry in a protective box rather than relying on the material alone.
No reliable individual-hook weight is established. The supplier lists weights for #6 to #5/0 without identifying whether they refer to one hook or a pack. Compare variants by the stated hook size, not by an assumed individual weight.

The VMC 8255 S O’SHAUGHNESSY is a stainless-steel single hook for versatile sea fishing. Its corrosion-resistant construction suits saltwater use, while the classic O'Shaughnessy shape and long shank provide a pattern for fishing with natural baits.
Use it with baitfish, mackerel, squid and other natural baits. The line is suitable for varied sea-fishing situations, with wreck fishing and down-tiding specifically highlighted by the supplier. These are loose hooks for building your own bait rigs, not complete pre-tied rigs.
The family covers #6, #4, #2, #1, #1/0, #2/0, #3/0, #4/0, #5/0, #6/0 and #7/0. Match hook size to the bait, intended fish and fishing method. Smaller hooks suit smaller bait presentations, while the larger sizes allow a larger bait presentation. The #6/0 and #7/0 variants each contain 10 hooks. Pack quantities for the other sizes are not stated here because the supplier's packaging and quantity fields disagree.
Supplier-listed weights are 3.29g for #6, 5.04g for #4, 6.84g for #2, 10.18g for #1, 12g for #1/0, 15.89g for #2/0, 20.11g for #3/0, 30.43g for #4/0 and 42.29g for #5/0. The supplier does not specify whether these are individual-hook or pack weights, so they should not be used to compare individual hook weight. No weight is supplied for #6/0 or #7/0.
Stainless steel provides corrosion resistance, but hooks still need inspection before use. Replace hooks with bent points, damage or corrosion and check that the line connection is secure. Handle sharp points with pliers or a hook remover, secure them when not in use and store hooks dry in a protective box. Keep them away from unattended children and pets. Use only for fishing and follow local rules.
