The VMC Tournament Circle Hooks offer the widest gap of any tournament approved circle hook, they are designed to optimize hook rates when live bait trolling for billfish. Made from strong, premium Vanadium Steel, VMC Tournament Circle Hooks feature chemically sharpened, sticky-sharp Needle Points. To create an ultra-sharp, strong Needle Point, VMC employs a unique tempering process of compressing the fibers in a conical shape instead of grinding the point. This process ensures that every VMC Tournament Circle Hook provides effortless penetration and resists pressure applied by braided lines.Features:1X strongNon-offsetExtra wide gapForgedVanadeium steelNeedle point
