VMC 9617 Treble Hook 2/0 10g

VMC 9617 Treble Hook 2/0 — Europe's favourite baitfish rig hook

The VMC 9617 O'Shaughnessy treble hook is the most popular hook in Europe for assembling deadbait and lure rigs. The classic O'Shaughnessy bend and Permasteel coating deliver reliable hooksets and corrosion resistance across freshwater predator fishing.

Proven O'Shaughnessy geometry for secure hookups

The wide O'Shaughnessy bend holds firmly once set and minimises hook pulls during the fight. The offset point design penetrates cleanly through tough bait or fish jaw, making it a dependable choice for pike, catfish, and zander rigs.

Permasteel coating adds durability

Permasteel treatment resists corrosion in fresh water, extending hook life even when left rigged for extended sessions. The coating maintains sharpness longer than untreated steel, so you can fish confidently without constant hook changes.
