VMC 9617 Treble Hook 8 3g

VMC 9617 O'Shaughnessy Treble Hook – Europe's Most Trusted Rig Hook

The VMC 9617 has earned its reputation as the go-to treble hook for baitfish rigs across Europe. This size 8 hook combines the proven O'Shaughnessy bend with durable Permasteel coating for reliable performance in diverse fishing situations.

Proven O'Shaughnessy Design

The classic O'Shaughnessy bend delivers excellent hooking geometry and holding power. The forged construction provides strength where it counts, while the needle-sharp points ensure secure hooksets on both hard- and soft-mouthed species.

Permasteel Protection

The Permasteel coating shields the hook from corrosion without adding bulk. This finish extends the life of your hooks in both fresh and saltwater applications, maintaining sharpness and structural integrity through multiple fishing sessions.
