VMC 6X hooks

[PaulS]

I bought some by accident. The 6x are a pain to cut.

Nevermind
I see the difference now, while talking to NIB he told me what to look at. Different shape to the steel also.

with 4x hooks, ya can't winch fish in any larger than 20 pounds or the hooks bend , so that is why I like 6x, especially around rocks and structure.


I'll go back to making boxes now

I use the 6X mainly because they have a heavier wire and a shorter shank. These make great replacement hooks, you can manhandle them with pliers. They are still pretty cheap too. You can get them in red too. The next step up IMO is the owner stinger series but now your talk-en nearly 2 bucks per hook...but these are forged trebles not bent wire and you could probably tow your truck with them. (Good for tuna plugs and big bass lures trolled from a boat)
