VMC 9626PS 4X Treble Hooks 4X strong. Short shank. The treble custom plug builders pick. VMC's 9626PS is one of the most respected 4X-strong saltwater trebles on the market — and the hook many serious custom plug builders specify when they're rigging their own work. Built on Perma Steel for corrosion resistance, with a short shank that doesn't impair lure action and a sticky-sharp point out of the package, this is the treble for upgrading any plug that's going to see big bass, blues, or tuna. Key Features 4X-strong wire — significantly heavier than stock production trebles Short shank doesn't interfere with plug action Sticky-sharp out of the package, holds points through hard hooksets Perma Steel construction for corrosion resistance in saltwater Sizes from #6 up to 5/0 — small surface plugs to big needlefish and pencils 10-pack pricing makes plug rebuilds affordable Specs Strength 4X strong Construction Perma Steel wire Shank Short shank Sizes #6 through 5/0 Pack Size 10 per pack Best For Upgrading stock trebles on surf and inshore plugs Rigging & Use Match hook size to the stock hook size on the lure as a starting point Step up one size for big fish (tuna, big striper, bluefish) Pair with Owner Hyper Wire split rings for a fully upgraded business end These are the trebles many Super Strike plugs and rebuilt classics get fitted with Why We Like It The 9626PS is the treble we hang on most of our shop-built and rebuilt plugs. They're sharp, they're strong, they don't bend out under big fish leverage, and the 10-pack pricing makes upgrading a plug bag worth of trebles a one-night project. The custom plug guys we trust use these — that's good enough recommendation for us.
