PAGE 6 VMC TECHNOLOGY 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. 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 points rigidity. Energy channels increase the speed of penetration and optimise the points driving force upon striking. The rst point with 3 micro-barbs. The upper barb placed close to the point guarantees swift hook bite at the slightest solicitation. Two lower micro-barbs prevent the sh slipping off even when the line is slack. As there is no tearing of the esh the removal of a Fastgrip hook leaves no wound. Fastgrip s penetration power is 15 superior to that of an ordinary point. The result of a sharpening technique that gathers the metal bers 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 point that combines sharpness structural stability and quality thanks to a conical tip a triangular crest and a barb so ne that it assures without force a clean and perfect penetration beyond the barb. 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. 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 nesse-style hooks that require instant penetration. An optimum level of corrosion resistance exists for each individual shing application. You can depend on VMC coatings to preserve the unique sharpness strength shape and nish of our hooks for as long as you need them to last. The wide range of VMC coatings offers an efcient solution adapted to every shing condition. The original anti-corrosion coating by excellence exclusive to VMC . The Permasteel secret formula creates a 100 protective shield for even the most vulnerable areas of the hook whilst maintaining ultimate point sharpness. VMC Permasteel prevents signs of corrosion in saltwater for over 1000 hours. The perfect balance between coating thickness and point sharpness to ensure optimum hook performance and resistance against corrosion. Tin and Tin Red coatings are highly recommended for all saltwater shing applications particularly those involving intense friction such as trolling or when in direct contact with stainless steel. These coloured hooks receive a thin layer of unique varnish that covers the hook without affecting the sharpness of its point. The varnish creates a shield on Hi-Carbon and Vanadium steel by covering the entire hook surface. This corrosion scale is founded on tests carried out in the most aggressive saltwater environment possible. When shing in freshwater these VMC coatings will preserve hook sharpness strength and appearance to the highest possible level. Carbon stabilizes iron during temperature changes. The higher the level of carbon the stronger the steel. VMC uses premium-quality high carbon steel to allow for a thinner hook with the highest quality point and durability. Reserved for special professional and premium sport hook series stainless steel is perfect for deep sea shing salmon and big sh. Ultimate corrosion resistance requiring no further coating.
