Vmc Hooks, What Do You Think Of Them?

[SPEEDBEAD.]

Butch Brown (if you don't know the name, look him up. Trust me.) uses them on his swimbait rig as the eye placement is conducive to the hook staying against the head of the Huddleston.

 

If they are strong enough to handle what he is catching, they will stand up to what ANYONE on this board is able to do.

I like them, after good results with the spinshots last year I branched out to try more of there stuff. I just got a bunch of there heavy duty flipping hooks, EWG spinshot hooks, weighted swimbait hooks.

About 10 years ago I started replacing stock hooks on some of the lures I used for surfcasting for striped bass with VMC trebles (#9626 I believe). They worked very well. They were sticky sharp out of the box and stayed that way dispite the hash environment in which they were used. I never had one of them bend out. I had this happen many times with other heavy duty trebles by Mustad and Owner. I would guess that if they can handle 40 and 50 pound striped bass, they can probably handle 5 and 6 pound LMB with ease.
