rjbass Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 For those of you that make musky baits, or any baits for that matter, VMC makes two new in-line trebles, #5680 in #2, #4 and #6 and 5686 that go all the way to 5/0. The hooks are in-line with the shaft so it promotes more hookups, less hook rash and you don't have to "T" your own hooks. They come Bronze, perma steel and black nickel. I just got some 4/0 and they are awesome, cone cut point and very sharp. If you have a tax ID number or business license, you can buy them in bulk from VMC's maufacturer's catalog. They are definitely worth a look. Cabela's just started carrying them, but they are much cheaper wholesale through VMC. Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Thanks for the tip; ordered some from Cabelas to check them out. I don't worry about rash on my custom baits but it's irksome to buy $15 Lucky Crafts and have them trashed in a few days fishing. BTW, I like the VMC Permasteel on freshwater baits. They're a nice dull silver color that goes well with white belly lures and they come sticky sharp, which is unusual for saltwater trebles. I put them on all my saltwater baits that carry trebles too, especially Tsunami jerk jiggers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatfingers Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Rod, are they like a sort of "pre T-d" hook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjbass Posted August 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Sore of....They are not exactly t'd, but in line with the shank. Check them out. http://www.vmcpeche.com/inline.htm Best hooks I have come across in a while. Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
