Please feel free to enquire to your regular supplier. 3

4 SparkPoint The VMC Sparkpoint offers the very latest in point technology, developed exclusively by VMC for ultimate performance hooks. A point hardened by forming, followed by chemical sharpening is the recipe for permanent hook sharpness. Front and back reinforcement ribs guarantee the point s rigidity. Energy channels increase the speed of penetration and the point s driving force upon striking. VMC Sparkpoint is now available on an extended range of single and treble hooks, including the lethal TROPIC treble for tropical fishing: ref Fastgrip TM Point The VMC Fastgrip point, with its three micro-barbs, ensures that hook setting is instant with only 1/3 of the pressure of a regular hook. Whilst the upper micro-barb guarantees swift hook-bite, the two lower micro-barbs prevent the fish from slipping off, even when the line is slack. The Fastgrip point also reduces damage compared to a regular barbed hook. It lessens bleeding and prevents wounding so catch and release fishing practices are significantly ifica improved. VMC Exclusive Technology VMC is the creator of many exclusive innovations in hook design and manufacturing processes. With almost a century s experience in hook manufacturing, VMC continues to build on its expertise to lead the way in hook innovation and performance. Scorpic Design (USA SureSet) Trebles with a sting in the tail! Scorpic is the award-winning treble hook design from VMC which combines a wide-gap single hook with a double hook for maximum scope in attack and hooking rate. The eye of the Scorpic Treble has been rotated in line with the largest branch to provide lures with perfect balance and exceptional swimming action, even at high speeds. 4

5 Barbarian Shape The unique design of the technical locking curve allows a maximum transfer of energy towards the point while setting the hook. This results in a faster and more effortless penetration of the point and up to 25% improved hooking rate. The hook s V shape locks the fish close to the shank, applying less pressure on the point. This prevents big fish from opening the hook and self-releasing. Tests have proven that the unique geometry of the VMC Barbarian shape increases a hook s resistance to opening. Permasteel TM (PS) coating The original anti-corrosion coating by excellence, exclusive to VMC. The Permasteel secret formula creates a 100% protective shield for even the most vulnerable areas of the hook, whilst maintaining ultimate point sharpness. VMC Permasteel prevents signs of corrosion in saltwater for over 1000 hours. Vanadium TM Steel VMC Vanadium hooks owe their success to their lightness allied with their incredible resistance : up to 25% increased strength. Vanadium is much lighter than regular high carbon steel, a great advantage when assembling the hook on a lure or fishing with live bait. You can also afford to have a thinner wire diameter without compromising on resistance. VMC Vanadium steel is perfect for any finesse style hooks that require instant penetration. 35

8 Sparkpoint the ultimate performance hook The very latest in point technology developed exclusively by VMC. A point hardened by forming, followed by chemical sharpening ensures permanent hook sharpness. Front and back reinforcement ribs guarantee the point s rigidity. Energy channels increase the speed of penetration and optimise the point s driving force upon striking. Fastgrip irrestible from every point of view The first point with 3 micro-barbs. The upper barb, placed close to the point, guarantees swift hook bite at the slightest solicitation. Two lower microbarbs prevent the fish slipping off, even when the line is slack. As there is no tearing of the flesh, the removal of a Fastgrip hook leaves no wound. Fish can consequently be returned to the water undamaged. Fastgrip Fastgrip s penetration power is 15% superior to that of an ordinary point. Needle Cone incredibly stronger Ordinary hook points are formed by a grinding process which breaks the fibres of the steel, thereby weakening the point. Needle Cone technology, in contrast, gathers the fibres and squeezes them towards the center, thereby strengthening the hook tip. With its consitent strength and superior sharpness, the resulting steel point s molecular integrity is preserved; all the weakness inherent in other mechanical or chemical honing processes are limited. 8

This is an indication of wire thickness. The higher the «x» number, the stronger the wire. As a general rule, the «x» number denotes the shift in sizes in relation to the wire thickness of an equivalent standard hook. Therefore, a 1x strong treble has the same wire thickness as its standard equivalent one size bigger and a 2x strong treble has the same wire thickness as its standard equivalent two sizes bigger etc. The other hook dimensions are unchanged. This table illustrates the shift in sizes for VMC standard round treble 9649 compared to 1x strong (9650) and 2x strong (9655) equivalents. round treble hooks hook sizes with equal wire thickness standard : ref #4 #3 #2 #1 #1/0 1x strong : ref #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 2x strong : ref #6 - #4 #3 #2 39

41 VMC Expert Tip Do I need a round shape or an O Shaugnessy shape? It all depends on the fish you are going after... The round bend offers the advantage of having a slightly wider gap than the O Shaugnessy treble. It results in a better and easier setting of the hook. On the other hand, the round bend will open more easily. For those reasons, most freshwater applications will use the round bend. Most freshwater fish will not apply enough pressure on the hook to open it, with the exception of very powerful species. VMC recommends using round bend trebles to benefit from the wider gap. For saltwater applications or freshwater applications aimed at heavy and powerful fish, think O Shaugnessy. The smaller gap on O Shaugnessy is not an issue as most of the time these species are much more aggressive and will grab the entire lure. What is important is the increased resistance to opening that the O Shaugnessy design will offer. O SHAUGNESSY TREBLE 8626 TI - tin cone cut X short, 3 X strong, special trolling 5/0 4/0 3/0 2/0 1/ ROUND TREBLE 8650 BK - black TR - tin red X strong cone cut VMC Expert Tip When should I use a short-shank treble? We recommend that you use a short shank treble any time you use a small size lure body with a reduced space between the two hooks. The short shank will prevent the two hooks from tangling.

See page 7 LIVE BAIT 7120 TR - tin red (without solid ring), forged VMC One Piece Solid Ring This is the only one-piece solid ring that is assembled to the hook prior to the hardening and finishing process. The ring is made of the same material as the hook, creating a perfect compatibility between the two elements. The hook and the ring are protected in the same way against rust. As there is no welding point, you can knot your line anywhere without risking a cut to your line or locking the ring in the eye of the hook. One-piece solid ring allows 100% freedom of movement for your bait with a perfectly natural action that will trigger more attacks.

It s the ultimate design for a saltwater live bait hook. Months of laboratory and field testing developed the Dynamic. This unique design ensures a maximum transfer of energy toward the point when setting the hook. Once set, the VMC Dynamic locks the fish in the technical locking curve. By keeping the fish far from the point section, there is a very limited leverage effect on the hook shape, which provides the fish no chance to open the hook and escape.

51 VMC Expert Tip What are the advantages of the circle hook shape? In addition to an increased catch-rate, the geometry of the circle hook design results in a significantly higher percentage of lip-hooking as opposed to deep-hooking. When hooked properly in the mouth, a hook can be removed quickly, thereby minimizing rough-handling and exposure time. Ultimately, less damage will be caused to the fish and tackle. For anglers who practice catch and release fishing, circle hooks are clearly advantageous. VMC now offers two non-reversed sport circle hooks, to further reduce gut-hooking : 7385 Tournament Circle and 9789 Heavy Duty Sport Circle. TOURNAMENT CIRCLE 7385 TR - tin red non-reversed, extra wide gap, ringed, forged New! 9/0 8/0 7/0 6/0 GET CIRCLE GET HOOKED 5/0 The VMC Tournament Circle Hook offers the largest gap in its category for an optimal hooking rate and more room for baiting. Its non-reversed design complies with increasing tournament regulations insisting on flat circle hooks. The Tournament Circle features VMC s sticky sharp ultra strong needle point. Rather than grinding the point like many circle hooks on the market, VMC s unique needle point manufacturing process allows the compressing of fibers in a conical shape so the thinnest part of the point shows the highest density of material. In order to meet the high expectations of tournament fishermen, ref 7385 has been lightly chemically sharpened.

53 Big Game Dynacut Series The new Dynacut Big Game series features the first ready-to-fish, ultra sharp big game point on the market. With four ultra-sharp cutting edges and four perfectly symmetrical glassy faces, the VMC Dynacut point does not require any additional sharpening. The geometry of the Dynacut point allows the hook to easily penetrate the hardest part of the jaw of game fish, instantly providing a perfect setting of the hook for a safe and clean fight. Designed not only to be ultra sharp, the Dynacut Big game point was shaped to last and resists enormous pressure applied onto it during the setting of the hook. The Dynacut Series now features two stainless steel models : 8700S SOUTHERN TUNA and 8701S BAY KING. DYNACUT SOUTHERN TUNA Stainless steel, forged, inward point 8700S 12/0 11/0 New! 10/0 9/0 8/0 7/0 53

In order to obtain the maximum level of resistance on each hook, VMC uses the finest quality of high carbon steel and fully forges the hook from the eye to the middle of the point. This forging allows ref 9789 to use lighter, thinner wire than other hooks on the market and still obtain a better resistance to opening. Being thinner, the penetration is significantly improved. The forged point will resist outrageous amounts of pressure without bending. Fishing with braided line, multi-speed reels and heavy rods is not an issue anymore! 65
