| VMC ® TECHNOLOGY |
V M C ® P OI NTS VMC® Needle Sharp™ is the very latest in premium point technology from VMC®, the result of a unique point-grinding process, chemically sharpened to perfection.
The point that combines sharpness, structural stability and quality thanks to a conical tip, a triangular crest and a barb so fine that it assures, without force, a clean and perfect penetration beyond the barb.
Developed exclusively by VMC® for ultimate performance hooks. A premium point hardened by forming, followed by chemical sharpening ensures permanent hook sharpness. Front and back reinforcement ribs guarantee the point’s rigidity. Energy channels increase the speed of penetration and optimise the point’s driving force upon striking.
The traditional hook point with excellent penetration capacity. This standard hook point is the most widely manufactured in the world. All VMC® hooks beginning with the number “9” have a standard Cut Point, unless otherwise indicated.
DYNACUT POINT Developed for Big Game Fishing
The result of a sharpening technique that gathers the metal fibers and squeezes them toward the center of the point. By compressing rather than cutting, VMC® has created a point equal or superior in sharpness to the best available and incredibly stronger.
The geometry of the Dynacut point allows the hook to easily penetrate the hardest part of the jaw of Big Game species such as marlin, shark and giant tuna, instantly providing a perfect setting of the hook for a safe and clean fight.
V MC ® S TE ELS HI-CARBON STEEL
STAINLESS STEEL
VANADIUM STEEL
Carbon stabilizes iron during temperature changes. The higher the level of carbon, the stronger the steel. VMC® uses premium-quality high carbon steel to give a thinner hook the highest quality point and durability.
VMC® Vanadium® hooks owe their success to their lightness allied with their incredible resistance : up to 25 % increased strength. VMC® Vanadium® steel is perfect for any finesse-style hooks that require instant penetration.
Reserved for special professional and premium sport hook series, stainless steel is perfect for deep sea fishing, salmon and big fish. Ultimate corrosion resistance requiring no further coating.
V MC ® COATI NGS An optimum level of corrosion resistance exists for each individual fishing application. You can depend on VMC® coatings to preserve the unique sharpness, strength, shape and finish of our hooks for as long as you need them to last. The wide range of VMC® coatings offers an efficient solution adapted to every fishing condition.

1000 + Smooth P.T.F.E. coating is now available on a number of VMC® premium models. This technical coating improves hook discretion and increases penetration speed by 50 %.
The Coastal PTFE coating (CT) is 5 times more corrosion resistant than a PTFE. It increases the penetration speed by 50% compare to a classic black nickel coating. This exclusive technology is the result of 3 years intensive researches at the VMC factory in France.
The new Coastal Black finish, unique to VMC®, is the ultimate combination of an innovative coating for extreme corrosion resistance and a premium hook finishing process for maximum sharpness.
Corrosion resistance, penetration speed and discretion: this unique secret formula reveals the expertize of VMC to develop innovative and technical products. This matt grey smooth coating is now available on a number of VMC premium models.

The original anti-corrosion coating by excellence, exclusive to VMC®.

ROUND vs O’SHAUGHNESSY SHAPE
The round bend has a slightly wider gap than the O’Shaughnessy and results in better and easier setting of the hook, but will open more easily. Most freshwater applications will use round bend trebles to benefit from the wider gap. www.vmcpeche.com

The O’Shaughnessy shape is narrower, with a break at the base. For saltwater or freshwater applications aimed at heavy and powerful fish, the O’Shaughnessy shape ensures greater resistance to opening.

BARBARIAN® SHAPE
The unique design of the technical locking curve allows a maximum transfer of energy towards the point while setting the hook. This results in a faster and more effortless penetration of the point and up to 25% improved hooking rate. The hook’s V Shape locks the fish close to the shank, applying less pressure on the point. This prevents big fish from opening the hook and self-releasing. Tests have proven that the unique geometry of the VMC® Barbarian® shape increases a hook’s resistance to opening. www.vmcpeche.com

EXCLUSIVE DYNACUT POINT The geometry of the Dynacut point allows the hook to easily penetrate the hardest part of the jaw of Big Game species such as marlin, shark and giant tuna, instantly providing a perfect setting of the hook for a safe and clean fight. With four ultra-sharp cutting edges and four perfectly symmetrical faces, the VMC® Dynacut point does not require any additional sharpening. Designed not only to be ultra-sharp, the Dynacut Big Game Point was shaped to last and resists enormous pressure during the setting of the hook. www.vmcpeche.com
