    I will never not use these style hooks swimbait... VMC makes good stuff and is slept on. The hooks are sharp and hold up well.

  • VMC vs. Gamakatsu: VMC praised for swimbait hooks, Gamakatsu for spinnerbaits

    I use VMC for swimbait hooks and Gamakatsu for spinnerbaits. VMC is almost as good as Gamakatsu but a bit cheaper. Both are great.

  • Speculation that Bass Pro Shops hooks are rebranded VMC

    I think BPS hooks are just rebranded VMC. They have the same finish and sharpness. VMC makes a lot of private label stuff.
