VMC 9626 O'Shaughnessy 2X-Strong X-Short Treble Hook — Built for Extreme Hooksets

The VMC 9626 O'Shaughnessy treble hook delivers superior strength and reliability when targeting hard-fighting fish. Engineered with a 2X-strong wire and an extra-short shank, this hook minimizes line tangles while maximizing holding power on aggressive strikes.

Proven O'Shaughnessy Design for Demanding Species

The classic O'Shaughnessy bend has earned its reputation in both freshwater and saltwater applications. The 2X-strong construction handles the violent headshakes and powerful runs of pike, muskie, catfish, and inshore saltwater predators. Permasteel coating provides robust corrosion resistance, extending hook life even after repeated exposure to harsh conditions.

Extra-Short Shank Prevents Hook Fouling

The compact shank design significantly reduces the chance of trebles tangling during the cast or fight. This feature proves invaluable when rigging multiple hooks on larger lures or live bait rigs, keeping your presentation fish-ready and your hookset clean.
