VMC 9626 O'Shaughnessy 2X-Strong X-Short Treble Hook 14.34g 2/0 5pcs Permasteel

VMC 9626 O'Shaughnessy 2/0 — Built to Land Tough Species

The VMC 9626 O'Shaughnessy treble hook combines a 2X-strong wire with an extra-short shank to deliver reliable hooksets on powerful fish while minimizing line tangles during the fight.

2X-Strong Wire for Hard-Fighting Fish

Forged from heavy-gauge wire, this hook stands up to aggressive strikes and sustained runs from pike, musky, catfish, and saltwater predators. The reinforced construction prevents straightening under load, giving you confidence when battling trophy specimens.

Extra-Short Shank Reduces Tangling

The compact shank design keeps the three points from crossing over each other during casts and retrieves. Your lure runs cleaner, and you spend less time clearing fouled hooks—especially valuable when fishing treble-equipped crankbaits, swimbaits, or live bait rigs.
