VMC 9617 Treble Hook 5/0 22g

VMC 9617 O'Shaughnessy Treble Hook 5/0 — Legendary Reliability for Baitfish Rigs

The VMC 9617 is Europe's most popular treble hook for building baitfish rigs and deadbait presentations. This size 5/0 delivers proven fish-holding power and exceptional durability for targeting bigger predators.

Proven O'Shaughnessy Design

The classic O'Shaughnessy bend combines strength with optimal hookset geometry. Each point penetrates cleanly and holds securely, making the 9617 a trusted all-purpose treble for pike, catfish, and saltwater species. The robust wire construction handles aggressive strikes without flexing or opening.

Permasteel Coating for Extended Performance

Permasteel finish provides good corrosion resistance in both fresh and saltwater environments. The coating maintains hook sharpness over multiple sessions, so you spend less time retying and more time fishing.
