VMC 4X vs 6X ID Tip

So last night was sorting boxes of gear after the flood move and found most of my vmc hooks to be all mixed together, after sorting sizes, mostly 3/0 and 4/0, next step was to find the 6x versions mixed in with the 4x versions.

You can compare thickness of them side by side but that takes a while and the thickness is pretty close.

The easiest way I've found to tell the difference is to look at the side of the bend of the hook.

You'll see in the pics that the 6x has flat sides and the 4x the bend of the hook is rounded.

Once I found this out, it made sorting them so much faster, figured i'd share the tip here and hope it helps somebody.

Check out the pics, the first pic is the 6x, second is the 4x and last is side by side.
