Fishing Hooks VMC 9299 Octopus Hook Black Nickel №1 for Bottom Fishing 16 pcs

Reliability, Strength, and Versatility for Professional Fishing

The VMC 9299 Octopus Hook Black Nickel №1 fishing hooks are high-quality, durable, and sharp hooks designed for bottom fishing and versatile use. Their Octopus shape ensures secure fish hooking, minimizing losses, while the special Black Nickel coating protects the metal from corrosion and wear — especially important for frequent water exposure.

These hooks are used by both amateur and professional anglers for fishing with live bait, worms, maggots, corn, or artificial lures. Thanks to the perfect balance between strength and flexibility, the hooks can withstand heavy loads and maintain their sharpness even after multiple uses.

Advantages of the Hooks

• High strength and wear resistance thanks to forged steel.

• Corrosion resistance due to Black Nickel coating.

• Special Octopus hook point ensures instant hooking.

• Universal — suitable for bottom, float, and spinning fishing.

• Designed for catching both predatory and peaceful fish.

• Micro-barb securely holds the catch.

• Balanced size №1 — optimal for medium and large fish.

• Perfectly sharpened point guarantees confident penetration.

• Compatible with various types of fishing lines and leaders.

• Supplied in a convenient and economical set of 19 pieces.

Design Features

The hook has a classic Octopus shape with a short shank and an inward-curved point. This geometry prevents fish from escaping and ensures stable holding even during strong pulls. The eye is slightly bent, simplifying knot tying and reducing line tension.

The Black Nickel coating not only adds an aesthetic look but also significantly extends the service life of the hooks by protecting the metal from moisture, salt, and UV exposure.

Compatibility

Suitable for most types of tackle:

• Bottom and feeder rigs;

• Float rods;

• Spinning rigs;

• Use with natural or artificial baits.

The hooks perform equally well in fresh and slightly brackish water, making them a universal choice for fishing in any conditions.

Usage Recommendations

• Check the sharpness of the point before use — it should be perfectly sharp.

• Tie the hook using the Palomar or Snell knot for maximum reliability.

• After fishing, rinse the hooks with fresh water and dry them to extend their lifespan.

• Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.
