VMC 7548 Hybrid X-Short 1X Strong Hook 2 5.15g Black Nickel

VMC 7548 Hybrid X-Short 1X Strong Hook — Snag-Free Performance for Crankbaits

The VMC 7548 in size 2 combines an extra-short shank with a wide gap and black nickel coating to keep your hard baits running true and tangle-free through cover.

Extra-Short Shank Prevents Hang-Ups

The X-short design sits closer to the lure body than standard trebles, dramatically reducing snags on wood, weed and rock. Your crankbaits track cleanly through structure while the 1X-strong wire delivers reliable hook-sets on predators up to mid-size pike and bass.

Wide Gap for Secure Hookups

An extra-wide gap improves penetration and hold, even on bony jaws. The black nickel finish resists corrosion in both fresh and saltwater, so hooks stay sharp session after session.
