VMC 7262 Live Bait 4X Strong Hook 2/0 5 Black Nickel

VMC 7262 Live Bait 4X Strong Hook — Built for Heavy-Duty Livebait Fishing

The VMC 7262 in size 2/0 delivers exceptional strength and reliability when targeting large predators with natural baits.

Four Times Stronger Than Standard Hooks

Engineered with 4X strong wire, this hook handles the powerful runs and headshakes of catfish, trophy pike, and other hard-fighting species. The short shank and wide gap provide superior holding power while keeping the hook profile compact enough for lively bait presentation.

Versatile Rigging Options

Beyond livebait fishing, the 7262 excels as a treble replacement on trolling lures where durability matters. The black nickel coating offers excellent corrosion resistance (rated 5/5) for both freshwater and saltwater applications, while maintaining the razor-sharp point through multiple fish.
