VMC 9617 Treble Hook 7/0 37g

VMC 9617 O'Shaughnessy Treble Hook 7/0 – Proven strength for big-bait presentations

The VMC 9617 O'Shaughnessy treble hook in size 7/0 is Europe's most popular hook for building heavy-duty baitfish rigs and arming large lures. Permasteel coating delivers reliable corrosion resistance for saltwater and freshwater alike.

Built for demanding applications

The classic O'Shaughnessy bend combines a wide gap with thick wire to handle powerful fish and substantial baits. At 37 g per hook, the 7/0 size anchors big swimbaits, jerkbaits, and deadbait rigs without compromising action.

Permasteel protection where it counts

Permasteel coating offers three-star corrosion resistance, keeping points sharp and wire strong through repeated exposure to saltwater, brackish environments, and extended fishing sessions. The coating won't flake or chip during hard hooksets.
