What is the meaning of 1x strong, 2x strong etc. ?
This is an indication of wire thickness. The higher the «x» number, the stronger 
the wire.
As a general rule, the «x» number denotes the shift in sizes in relation to the wire 
thickness of an equivalent standard hook.
Therefore, a 1X strong treble has the same wire thickness as its standard equi-
valent on size bigger and a 2X strong treble has the same wire thickness as its 
standard equivalent two sizes bigger etc. The other hook dimensions are unchanged.
This table illustrates the shift in sizes for VMC® standard round treble 9649 compared to 1X strong (9650) and 2X strong (9655) equivalents.
