VMC 7242 Redentex Front+ Hook 5/0 4pcs Coastal PTFE Vanadium Steel

VMC 7242 Redentex Front+ Hook 5/0 — Built Tough for Hard-Fighting Sea Species

The VMC 7242 Redentex Front+ Hook is a heavy-duty single hook engineered for slow-trolling live or dead baitfish in saltwater, targeting powerful species that demand every bit of strength your tackle can offer.

Locking Curve Shape for Reliable Hooksets

The Locking Curve geometry is designed to improve bite conversion and keep fish firmly pinned throughout the fight. Once engaged, the hook holds its position under pressure — a critical feature when battling large, determined pelagic fish that run hard and change direction fast.

Coastal PTFE Coating on Vanadium Steel

Forged from vanadium steel and finished with a Coastal PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating, this hook is built to resist the corrosive effects of saltwater over repeated sessions. The coating also preserves the long needle-sharp point for longer, meaning fewer touch-ups between trips. The reinforced construction of the Front+ version makes it specifically suited to hard-fighting targets such as amberjack and large snapper.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the Locking Curve shape, needle-sharp point, vanadium steel construction, and Coastal PTFE coating. Choose by hook size and pack quantity to match your target species and bait size:

• 3/0 — 6 pieces: Smaller baitfish presentations; lighter inshore or reef species

• 4/0 — 5 pieces: Versatile mid-range size; medium baitfish; general saltwater predators

• 5/0 — 4 pieces(current variant): Larger baitfish rigs; amberjack, large snapper, and similarly powerful species

• 6/0 — 3 pieces: Big baits for trophy-sized targets in open water or deep structure

• 7/0 — 3 pieces: Maximum size; heavy-duty slow-trolling with large whole baits for the biggest predators
