VMC 7233 Redentex Back Hook 4/0 Coastal PTFE

VMC 7233 Redentex Back Hook 4/0 – Precision-Engineered for Slow-Trolling with Live Bait

Designed as the mirrored counterpart to the Redentex Front Hook, the VMC 7233 Redentex Back Hook seats cleanly on the rear of a livebait, completing a two-hook rig that keeps your presentation natural and your hook-up rate high.

Locking Curve Shape for Better Hook-Ups

The Locking Curve geometry is built to maximise bite-to-landed-fish conversion. When a predator takes the bait from behind, the hook rotates into an optimal striking position, driving the needle-sharp point home with less wasted movement and fewer missed runs.

Coastal PTFE Coating – Built for Saltwater

Vanadium steel provides the backbone, while the Coastal PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating adds a hard-wearing, corrosion-resistant layer that stands up to prolonged exposure to salt, sand, and spray. The same coating preserves the needle-sharp point across multiple sessions, so you spend less time re-rigging and more time fishing.

Choose the Right Variant

The 7233 Redentex Back Hook is available in five sizes to match the baitfish you're working with and the predators you're targeting. All sizes share the Locking Curve shape, Coastal PTFE coating, needle-sharp point, and vanadium steel construction.

• 2/0 – 8 pieces per pack: Light slow-trolling rigs; smaller livebaits such as sardines or small mackerel; inshore species like sea bass or small dentex

• 3/0 – 7 pieces per pack: Versatile mid-size option; medium livebaits; inshore and nearshore predators

• 4/0 – 6 pieces per pack (this product): Medium-large livebaits; bluefish, dentex, amberjack, and similar reef or bluewater predators in coastal and offshore slow-troll setups

• 5/0 – 5 pieces per pack: Larger livebaits; targeting bigger amberjack, large dentex, or early-season bluefin on slow-troll rigs

• 6/0 – 4 pieces per pack: Big-bait rigs for large pelagics; maximum gap for deep hook-penetration on powerful species
