VMC 9626 O'Shaughnessy 2X-Strong X-Short Treble Hook 14.13g 2 10pcs Permasteel

VMC 9626 O'Shaughnessy – Extra-Strong Treble for Tough Species

The VMC 9626 O'Shaughnessy is a 2X-strong treble hook with an extra-short shank, engineered for powerful fish and demanding conditions where reliability matters most.

Built for Hard-Fighting Fish

The 2X-strong wire construction delivers exceptional holding power when targeting robust species. The classic O'Shaughnessy bend distributes pressure evenly across the hook, reducing the risk of straightening under load. Permasteel coating provides reliable corrosion resistance for both freshwater and saltwater applications, making larger sizes particularly popular among saltwater anglers.

Short Shank Prevents Tangling

The extra-short shank design significantly reduces hook-to-hook and hook-to-line interference during the fight. This compact geometry keeps trebles from crossing and tangling, ensuring clean hooksets and fewer lost fish when rigging lures or live bait presentations.
