VMC 8117S Live Bait X-Strong Hook 4/0 8.79g

VMC 8117S Live Bait Hook 4/0 — Extra-Strong Hold for Large Baits

The VMC 8117S in size 4/0 is built for heavy-duty live bait fishing where strength and penetration matter. Its stainless steel construction and inward Cone Cut® point deliver reliable hooksets on powerful fish.

X-Strong Wire for Big Live Baits

The reinforced wire gauge handles large, active baits like crabs, shrimp, or baitfish without bending or opening under pressure. The wide gap accommodates bulky baits while maintaining optimal hook exposure, so you get solid hookups even when fish strike aggressively.

Cone Cut® Point and Corrosion Resistance

The inward-angled Cone Cut® point penetrates quickly with minimal force, reducing the chance of fish shaking free during the fight. Stainless steel coating offers excellent corrosion resistance (rating: 4/5) for extended use in saltwater and brackish environments, keeping the point sharp over many sessions.
