VMC 9617 Treble Hook 10 2g

VMC 9617 O'Shaughnessy Treble Hook — Europe's Most Popular Rigging Hook

The VMC 9617 is the go-to treble hook for baitfish rigs and lure modifications across Europe. Featuring the classic O'Shaughnessy bend and Permasteel coating, this all-purpose hook delivers consistent performance in freshwater and saltwater applications.

Proven O'Shaughnessy Design

The O'Shaughnessy bend provides exceptional hook strength and penetration. The offset point geometry ensures secure hooksets while the wide gap accommodates natural baits and prevents fish from leveraging out during the fight.

Permasteel Corrosion Protection

Permasteel coating extends hook life in demanding conditions. The treatment resists saltwater corrosion while maintaining sharp points through repeated use, making these hooks ideal for both fresh and saltwater rigging.
