VMC 8626 O'Shaughnessy 2/0 — Extra-Strong Treble for Trolling and Thick-Bodied Lures

The VMC 8626 O'Shaughnessy treble hook combines 2X-strong construction with a shortened shank, making it the ideal choice for arming voluminous lures and trolling applications where strength and secure hook-sets matter most.

Built for Trolling and Heavy-Duty Applications

The 2X-strong wire construction delivers exceptional hook strength (rated 4/5) to handle aggressive strikes and powerful fish during trolling. The tin coating provides reliable corrosion resistance (4/5), ensuring consistent performance in both freshwater and saltwater environments.

Optimized Shank Length for Thick-Set Lures

The extra-short shank design pairs perfectly with bulky, thick-bodied lures such as crankbaits, swimbaits, and trolling plugs. This shorter profile prevents the hook from interfering with lure action while maintaining a secure grip on fish.
