These are packs of loose treble hooks for building rigs, with baitfish rigs specifically highlighted by the supplier. You need to assemble your rig separately rather than expect a ready-tied trace.
Start with the hook size required for your bait and method, then check the available finish. BZ (Bronze) covers #18 to #1 plus #1/0 and #4/0, NI (Nickel) covers #16 to #2, and PS (Permasteel) covers #10 to #1 plus #1/0 to #8/0 and #10/0. Not every intermediate size is offered, and the supplier does not establish a performance ranking between finishes.
The Permasteel line is specified with Hi-Carbon steel and a Cone Cut® hook point for predator fishing with dead baitfish. These identify the hook body material and point design, so choose a PS version if you want these documented features. The same details are not supplied for BZ or NI.
The pack content depends on the selected version and is 5, 10 or 100 hooks. NI packs contain 10. PS aught sizes #1/0 to #8/0 offer 5 or 100, and #10/0 offers 100. Some BZ sizes also offer 100-hook packs. Check the selected pack content before ordering, especially when the same size is sold in more than one pack.
Use pliers or a hook-removal tool to reduce contact with the sharp points. Inspect for bent points or rust before use, replace damaged hooks and store them dry with the points secured in a box. This reduces puncture risks and prevents damp storage from encouraging rust.

The VMC 9617 O’SHAUGHNESSY TREBLE is an all-purpose treble hook for building rigs, with baitfish rigs highlighted by the supplier. Its broad size selection lets you match the hook to your bait and fishing method. These are loose hooks, not ready-tied rigs.
The assigned range includes BZ (Bronze), NI (Nickel) and PS (Permasteel) coatings. BZ versions cover sizes #18, #16, #14, #12, #10, #8, #6, #4, #2, #1, #1/0 and #4/0. NI versions cover #16, #14, #12, #10, #8, #6, #4 and #2. PS versions cover #10, #8, #6, #4, #2, #1, #1/0 through #8/0, and #10/0. Choose the size for the bait, target fish and method, then check which coating is available in that size. The supplier does not provide a comparative performance advantage for these finishes.
The supplier describes the Permasteel line as suitable for predator fishing with dead baitfish and specifies Hi-Carbon steel and a Cone Cut® hook point. The steel forms the hook body, while Cone Cut® identifies the point design used to hook the fish. These construction details are documented for the Permasteel line, not the Bronze or Nickel versions.
PS hooks in sizes #1 to #10 come in packs of 10. PS #1/0 to #8/0 are available in packs of 5 or 100, while PS #10/0 comes in a pack of 100. BZ #1 to #18 come in packs of 10, with 100-hook packs available for #4, #6, #8, #10, #12, #14, #16 and #18. BZ #1/0 and #4/0 come in packs of 5. NI versions come in packs of 10. Check the selected version's pack content when deciding how many hooks you need for rig building or replenishing your tackle box.
Check hooks for bent points, rust or other damage before use and replace damaged hooks. Make sure each hook is securely attached to the rig. Handle the points with pliers or a hook-removal tool, keep hooks covered when not in use and store them dry in a secure box. Keep them away from unsupervised children and pets. Use only for fishing where local regulations permit, and keep people and animals clear when casting.
