VMC 7233 Redentex Back Hook 5/0 Coastal PTFE

VMC 7233 Redentex Back Hook 5/0 Coastal PTFE — Secure Live-Bait Rigging for Saltwater Slowtrolling

The VMC 7233 Redentex Back Hook is a purpose-built single hook for rigging the tail end of a live or dead baitfish when slow-trolling for saltwater predators. It mirrors the Redentex Front Hook geometry, giving your rig a matched, balanced presentation from nose to tail.

Locking Curve Shape for Better Hook-Ups

The Locking Curve geometry keeps the hook point angled in the optimal strike position, so pressure from a running fish drives the needle-sharp point home reliably. This design is especially effective in the back position, where bites often come from predators engulfing the tail of the bait.

Coastal PTFE Coating — Corrosion Resistance and Lasting Sharpness

Vanadium steel provides a strong, resilient foundation, while the Coastal PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating adds a hard, slick barrier against saltwater corrosion. The coating also preserves the needle-sharp point over repeated sessions — an important advantage when fishing demanding offshore or coastal environments.

Choose the Right Variant

The 7233 Redentex Back Hook is available in five sizes. Larger sizes suit bigger baitfish and heavyweight predators; smaller sizes match finer baits and mid-sized targets. Pack quantities decrease as hook size increases.

• 2/0 — 8 pieces: Smaller live baits; mid-sized coastal predators such as sea bass or smaller amberjack

• 3/0 — 7 pieces: Versatile mid-range size; medium baitfish; general saltwater slow-trolling

• 4/0 — 6 pieces: Larger baitfish presentations; stronger predators in coastal and near-shore conditions

• VMC 7233 Redentex Back Hook 5/0 Coastal PTFE — 5 pieces: Robust baitfish rigs; offshore-capable; suited to large predators such as amberjack, barracuda, and similar species

• 6/0 — 4 pieces: Biggest baitfish; heavyweight offshore targets; heavy-duty slow-troll setups
