The VMC ILS 4X Inline Single in Coastal Black finish is an excellent choice to replace treble hooks on larger lures. The Inline Hook has a wide gap and is forged for the extra strength needed for larger fish.
The Coastal Black finish has high corrosion-resistance for the longest-lasting black finish in the saltwater market with ultra-sharp, multi-step chemical sharpened hooks.
The in line hooks are being used to replace treble hooks on several lures. I strictly adhere to the catch and release programs and releasing my catch as quickly as possible with limited damage is my goal. The Saltwater Edge site was easy to locate the items and place the order. Thank you for the quick thresponse as I received my order in just a matter of days. I will continue to use Saltwater Edge as my fishing go to order site. Thank you for your easy order process and quick response.

Unhooking fish from a replacement hook is usually much easier now, especially in the dark, and much better for a speedy release as well. I never bring in fish with several different trebles lodged in body, gills and mouth any more. The VMC hooks are sharp out of the
