The VMC 8540 Vanadium® Round Treble is a chemically sharpened, round base and short shank treble hook with excellent piercing performance.
Applications:
- a popular hook for all predatory fish
- as a replacement hook for swaddles, when you want to change to higher quality and better gripping hooks
- a very popular hook among small manufacturers who invest in the quality of the hook
About 25% stiffer hooks can be made from Vanadium® steel than from traditional carbon steel. This way the hooks can be made light and thin. The advantage is good piercing ability and swimming sensitivity. ConeCut sharpening successfully combines sharpness, durability and quality. The conical, very sharp point becomes triangular towards the barb of the hook. The strength of the hook is indicated from the lightest to the strongest: X Fine Wire, Fine Wire, 1X Strong, 2X Strong, etc. As a general rule, it can be considered that e.g. 2X corresponds to the strength of the wire of a hook two sizes larger in strength when the dimensions of the hook, except for the thickness of the wire, remain unchanged. Fine Wire hooks are very light and sensitive. The forged wire increases the torsion and straightening resistance of the hook.
VMC is the world's leading manufacturer of three-prong hooks, with a daily production of approximately 4 million hooks. This company, which has been operating for more than 100 years, is part of the Rapala Group companies.
