VMC 9617 Treble Hook 8/0 50g

VMC 9617 Treble Hook 8/0 — Europe's favorite deadbait hook

The VMC 9617 O'Shaughnessy treble hook is the most popular choice in Europe for building reliable deadbait rigs. The size 8/0 variant delivers exceptional strength for targeting large predators.

Built for heavy-duty predator fishing

The robust O'Shaughnessy bend and reinforced wire construction handle the power of big pike, catfish, and saltwater species. Permasteel coating provides three-level corrosion resistance for both freshwater and light saltwater applications, extending hook life even in demanding conditions.

Proven sharpness and penetration

Sharp needle points ensure solid hooksets on hard-mouthed predators. The three-point design maximizes hooking efficiency on larger baits, while the balanced geometry maintains stable bait presentation throughout the retrieve or drift.
