VMC 8382 Hook 6/0 11.91g Black Nickel Circle

VMC 8382 Circle Hook — Reliable Hook-Set for Big Predators

The VMC 8382 in size 6/0 is a forged, reversed circle hook with a ring eye, built 3X strong for tackling powerful saltwater and freshwater species with confidence.

Self-Hooking Circle Design

The reversed, offset point automatically rotates into the corner of the fish's mouth as it swims away, delivering secure hook-sets without aggressive strikes. Ideal for live-bait presentations where the fish takes time to swallow.

Built for Heavy-Duty Applications

Forged from flattened steel wire and finished in corrosion-resistant black nickel, this hook handles hard fights on wrecks, reefs, and deep freshwater structure. The strong shank and wide gap accommodate large baits like whole mackerel, mullet, or lamprey.

Choose the Right Variant

Match hook size to your target species and bait:

• 2/0 (5.85 g) – smaller catfish, tench with medium live baits

• 3/0 (7.85 g) – cod, pollack, mid-sized catfish

• 4/0 (10.77 g) – larger cod, pollack, catfish with big baits

• 6/0 (11.91 g) – current model; wreck fishing for cod, catfish with oversized live baits

• 8/0 (19.53 g) – heavy catfish rigs, large saltwater predators

• 10/0 (29.56 g) – trophy catfish, conger, amberjack
