VMC 8357 Catfish 6x Strong Hooks 7/0 15g x5 PTFE

VMC 8357 Catfish — Unbreakable strength for trophy cats

The VMC 8357 Catfish hook is built 6x strong to handle the brutal power of big catfish and heavy saltwater livebait rigs without opening or bending.

Exceptional resistance to opening

Forged from high-carbon steel with a 6x strong wire diameter, this hook refuses to straighten even under extreme pressure. Whether you're fighting a monster wels or landing a powerful saltwater predator on live bait, the 8357 delivers the structural integrity you need when the fight matters most.

Premium PTFE coating for faster hooksets

The ultra-smooth PTFE coating drastically reduces friction, allowing the Cone Cut point to penetrate tough mouth tissue faster and deeper. Combined with the needle-sharp point geometry, you get reliable hookups even on hard-mouthed species, while the slick surface helps the hook glide through bait without tearing.

Choose the right variant

Match hook size to your target species and bait:

• 5/0 (11.58 g, 7 pieces) — Medium catfish, carp, smaller saltwater livebait rigs, cut bait

• 7/0 (15 g, 5 pieces) — Large catfish, big livebait presentations, heavy saltwater applications

• 9/0 (19.03 g, 3 pieces) — Trophy wels, monster catfish, jumbo live or dead bait rigs
