At the core of its design is VMC´s revolutionary Technical Locking Curve. This unique shape is not just a bend in the metal; it’s a strategically engineered feature that forces the point to penetrate deeper upon pressure and then acts as a lock, securely holding the fish during aggressive runs and head shakes. The result is a rock-solid hook-up that gives the fish virtually no leverage to escape.

Furthermore, the assist cord is not your standard braid. It features a Twisted Braided line that provides an incredible 40% increase in resistance compared to standard materials. This translates to superior abrasion resistance against sharp teeth and gill plates, as well as the raw power to withstand the immense strain of fighting powerful demersal species.

To draw fish in from a distance and entice a reaction strike, the VMC 7118 is equipped with a vibrant UV Kristal Flash. This material reflects ultraviolet light, which penetrates deeper into the water column than visible light. In deep or murky conditions, this flash mimics the glint of baitfish scales, creating a highly visible target that fish can´t resist. This feature is proven to optimize your strike rate, especially during the critical moments when the jig is falling or being lifted. Paired with a Needle Sharp point for effortless penetration, the VMC 7118 Light Single Assist Hook is the definitive choice for serious slow jigging enthusiasts looking to upgrade their terminal tackle and land more fish
