VMC 9617 O'Shaughnessy Treble Hook — Reliable Hold for Baitfish Rigs

The VMC 9617 treble hook combines proven O'Shaughnessy geometry with Permasteel corrosion protection, making it a dependable choice for building baitfish rigs and lure setups across freshwater and saltwater environments.

Wide Range for Versatile Applications

With sizes from 10 to 8/0, the 9617 series covers everything from small lures to heavy predator rigs. The O'Shaughnessy bend delivers a secure hook set, while the forged wire construction provides the strength needed for hard-fighting species.

Permasteel Protection for Extended Durability

The Permasteel coating offers three-times corrosion resistance compared to standard finishes, keeping your hooks sharp and reliable across multiple sessions. Factory-sharpened points penetrate quickly, and the finish maintains performance even after contact with saltwater or abrasive baitfish scales.
