The core of the VMC 9408´s strength lies in its material. It is crafted from premium Hi-Carbon Steel. Carbon is a critical element that stabilizes iron during temperature changes, and the higher the level of carbon, the stronger the resulting steel. VMC® leverages this principle by using premium-quality high carbon steel. This advanced material allows for the creation of a thinner, less conspicuous hook that retains the highest quality point sharpness and exceptional durability, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of repeated use and the fight of powerful fish
