VMC SureSet Circle Hook

The VMC SureSet Circle Hook (7381) is a lightweight, strong circle hook designed for live-bait fishing in both fresh and saltwater. Forged from VMC's premium Vanadium Steel, the SureSet provides up to 25% greater strength than conventional hook materials while maintaining a thin profile for natural bait presentation.

For Florida anglers fishing live shrimp, pilchards, threadfins, pinfish and other natural baits, it's a versatile circle hook for everything from inshore fishing to lighter offshore applications.

Vanadium Steel Construction

VMC manufactures the SureSet from forged Vanadium Steel, providing an excellent strength-to-weight ratio.

The material allows VMC to build a relatively thin, lightweight hook without sacrificing the strength required for braided line and hard-fighting fish. VMC rates the SureSet as 1X Strong.

Offset Circle Hook Design

The 7381 SureSet features an offset circle-hook design.

Circle hooks are designed to move toward the corner of a fish's mouth as pressure comes onto the line, making them particularly well suited to natural and live-bait presentations.

Rather than making a hard traditional hookset, allow the fish to take the bait and gradually come tight while maintaining steady pressure.

Needle Point

VMC equips the SureSet with its sharp Needle Point for quick penetration.

The combination of a sharp point and relatively lightweight wire helps the hook penetrate efficiently while maintaining enough strength for demanding fishing applications.

Coastal Black Finish

Current SureSet Circle Hooks use VMC's Coastal Black finish, developed specifically for saltwater environments.

VMC describes Coastal Black as an ultra-thin, layered finish designed to provide increased corrosion resistance while maintaining the hook's sharpness and performance.

Excellent for Live Bait

The SureSet is particularly well suited to live-bait fishing because its lightweight construction helps bait move naturally in the water.

Use it with:

• Live Shrimp
• Pilchards
• Threadfin Herring
• Sardines
• Pinfish
• Small Mullet
• Cut Bait
• Other Natural Baits

Premier Tackle Take

The VMC SureSet Circle Hook is a good everyday live-bait hook when you want strength without an unnecessarily heavy hook.

That's particularly important with smaller live baits. A lighter hook allows a pilchard, shrimp or threadfin to swim more naturally, while the forged Vanadium Steel construction provides the strength needed once a good fish eats.

With sizes running from 6 through 5/0, it's also a versatile hook family to keep in the tackle box for a wide range of freshwater and saltwater live-bait applications.
