Comments: This hook has enhanced my central Florida river fishing greatly. I put the hook on Steel Shad lures (caught zero on lures before this hook) and wham! It is a winner. I've had zero quality issues or lost blades, probably have it on 10 different lures. It's pricey but I'm happy with the investment.

Comments: As if Boo Yah One Knockers weren't deadly enough I just upped their strike ratio. Been using the lure way before Boo Yah brand & installed 1 VMC bladed treble on the front. Definitely increased the catch and I've not lost any blades. I seldom remove hydrilla by hand & just slap the water with the lure & haven't lost any blades yet.

Comments: After about 5 casts one of the hooks broke off about half way up. These hooks are to expensive for this to happen. Contacted VMC and they wanted me to send the hook to them. Not worth it to me

Comments: WOW - when the bite is tough you grab another rod. Before you know it your deck is covered with rods. I bought 5 packs of these & started swapping hooks on some lipless baits and I can promise you, THAT BLADE MAKES A DIFFERENCE. You will definitely get bit more, definitely.

Comments: i add some loctite where the connection points to the the shaft are located. i will not throw a lure that doesnt have these at least on the front...i use these front and back. i keep stats every day, and i'm seeing a 40% increase in activity ( i throw topwaters 99% of the time; evergreen sb 105 in clear. remove the 3 trebles, and add the hybrids front and back, disregarding the center location because it's just too many hooks too close together, lol) try some loctitie! just plain bill

Comments: Works great. Just change the split ring out to a owner and it's money.

Comments: Maybe i've just been lucky... after about 1500 casts and i dont know how many bites, the spinner finally came off when a gar went nuts on my topwater (sb 105). i had added one up front, so kept fishing cuz the treble is so dang sharp! until someone can find another way to make something like this, i'm putting 'em front and back on my lures. really increases the action!

Comments: I like the added flash to my top water, but after the third fish the blade was gone. Would hope they could make it more durable somehow.

Comments: not good lost blade after 2 fish.

Comments: i admit i was concerned with the reviews stating that the blade falls off rather easily. but i just couldnt resist getting some, cuz i had a plan...all i throw are topwaters (evergreen sb 105 in clear), and i always put a vmc sureset treble on the back (i remove the center treble entirely). so i thought i might try this hybrid up front. bingo! i usually get 20-30 blowups from 6am-7:30. this very morning i had 44 blowups! everything else was the same. the time. the spot on the bank. the lure. the only difference was that spinning hybrid. i noticed as soon as it got light enough, as i cast it out, the spinner was flashing with that silvery brightness the baitfish have. it really adds that extra dimension of attraction! the blade stayed on the whole early morning. maybe the thing to do is put it up front. all i know is i'll be putting it up front on all my topwater baits.

Comments: The hooks are very sharp which is a plus but the blades don't last long. After the 3rd fish I caught, I noticed that the blade was gone. If they can find a way to secure the blade better, I would buy more. I like them now but would love them better if they held up longer. Just my 2 cents.

Comments: My blade was not durable. After a few casts and retrieves I noticed the blade was missing.

Comments: Ive put this on belly hook on my square bills and been getting solid bites on windy days. have caught ~8 fish so far on the one crank ive been really fishing hard with it on and it works great. held up to fish up to 4 lbs great.
From: Hart - 10/12/19
Comments: Bought several packs and while they did work good and seem to get more bites the blades fall off extremely easy. I had one come off with just normal cast and retrieve.
