Gear Review: VMC RedLine Series

WHAT IS IT?

VMC RedLine Series

WHAT SETS IT APART?

Extra light VMC Vanadium Steel — the same material used to make Formula 1 race cars — forms the backbone of these hooks for 25% more strength. That is combined with ultra-smooth P.T.F.E. coating for 50% faster hook penetration, while VMC’s unique point-grinding process delivers powerful hook-up speeds that keep fish on. These new hooks will be available in March 2023. 

HOW DO I USE IT?

The RedLine Series hooks are available in eight models: Drop Shot (No. 4, 2, 1 1/0); Heavy Duty Flippin’ (3/0, 4/0, 5/0); Wacky Neko (No. 6, 4, 2, 1, 1/0); Hybrid Wide Gap (2/0, 3/0, 4/0, 5/0); Weedless Wacky Neko (No. 2, 1, 1/0); Hybrid Worm (1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, 5/0); Finesse Neko (No. 6, 4, 2, 1, 1/0) and Finesse Treble (No. 5, 4, 3). Most of the hooks in the series are packaged with a super conventional Hook-Lok System to maximize hook organization.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:

The new RedLine Series of premium hooks is engineered for optimum power, strength and hook-up speed. The evidence is in a truly high-level pedigree for the hooks category. What discriminating anglers can appreciate is a hook made with the highest-level technology and materials in what ultimately is the most important connection between them and the fish. That brings confidence when money, points and titles are on the line.
