VMC 7231 Hook 8 0.5g

VMC 7231 — Precision engineered for microspoon fishing

The VMC 7231 in size 8 (0.5 g) is purpose-built to maximize hooksets with ultra-light micro lures, featuring an extra-long Needle Sharp™ point and PTFE coating for instant penetration.

Extra-long Needle Sharp™ point for secure hooksets

The extended point geometry penetrates quickly even with the light strikes typical of finesse fishing. Combined with the low-friction PTFE coating, the hook drives home with minimal resistance, turning cautious bites into landed fish.

MicroBarb design improves landing rates

The reduced-profile barb holds fish securely while allowing easier unhooking and less tissue damage. This refined barb strikes the ideal balance between retention during the fight and quick, clean releases.

Choose the right variant

Match hook size to your microspoon weight and target species:

• Size 8 (0.5 g) — ideal for ultra-light microspoons under 2 g; perch, small trout, panfish in clear water or pressured conditions

• Size 6 (0.6 g) — medium microspoons 2–3 g; trout, chub, larger perch in standard conditions

• Size 4 (0.7 g) — heavier microspoons 3–5 g; larger trout, asp, small pike when targeting bigger specimens
