Widely celebrated as the most popular hook in Europe for crafting custom rigs, the VMC 9617 has earned its reputation through decades of proven success on the water. Whether you are a seasoned angler looking to upgrade the stock hooks on your favorite hard lures or a custom lure builder demanding the best, this hook delivers the strength and sharpness required to turn strikes into successful landings.Designed as the ultimate all-purpose treble hook, its versatility is unmatched. The extensive range of sizes caters to a vast multitude of applications, from targeting smaller predators with finesse presentations to battling trophy-sized fish with large plugs and wobblers. The recent introduction of a micro size 20 (in bronze) further expands its utility, allowing anglers to equip even the smallest lures with a hook that carries the VMC legacy of quality. This adaptability makes the 9617 O´Shaugnessy the go-to choice for anglers fishing for a wide array of species in diverse conditions.The exceptional performance of the VMC 9617 is rooted in its intelligent design and premium materials. It is engineered with the legendary O'Shaugnessy bend, a shape specifically developed for superior strength. This bend features a slightly narrower gap than a traditional round bend and a distinct break at its base, a combination that provides immense resistance to opening under pressure. This makes it the ideal hook for targeting heavy and powerful fish in both freshwater and saltwater environments, giving you the confidence that your connection will hold firm during the most intense fights.Crafted from VMC´s premium-quality Hi-Carbon Steel, the 9617 achieves an optimal balance of strength and finesse. The high carbon content stabilizes the iron, resulting in a stronger, more rigid steel. This allows for the creation of a thinner hook with a needle-sharp point that maintains its cutting edge and durability over time. The result is effortless penetration and a secure hookset, ensuring that even the slightest bites are converted. Its classic Non-Forged, Regular Wire profile, combined with a Regular Barb, provides a time-tested design that guarantees consistent performance and reliable hook-ups, making it the perfect upgrade for your hard lures.Attribute: Treble HooksTechnical Specifications:* Fishing style(s): Predator* Lure / Rig Type(s): Hard Lures (Wobblers / Plugs...)* Material: Hi-Carbon Steel - Carbon stabilizes iron during temperature changes.
