VMC 8117S Live Bait X-Strong Hook 1 2.91g

VMC 8117S — Stainless Steel Strength for Live Bait Fishing

The VMC 8117S in size 1 delivers the corrosion resistance and durability you need when fishing with live bait in saltwater or freshwater environments.

Extra-Strong Construction for Demanding Conditions

Built with a reinforced wire diameter and stainless steel coating, this hook withstands the aggressive runs of powerful fish and resists corrosion even after repeated saltwater exposure. The wide gap and robust shank prevent bending under pressure, making it reliable for targeting larger species.

Cone Cut® Point for Secure Hook Sets

The inward-angled Cone Cut® point penetrates quickly and holds firmly, reducing the chance of losing fish during the fight. This sharp, precise geometry works especially well with soft baits like crab, shrimp, or live baitfish that require a strong yet refined hook.
