VMC DROP DEAD WEIGHT #5/0 BLACK NICKEL

The VMC Drop Dead Weight #5/0 Black Nickel is the largest standard size in the Drop Dead weighted hook family, built specifically for bulkier soft jerkbaits, larger paddletails, magnum flukes, and full-profile swimbaits that need a stable weedless presentation. VMC positions the belly weight low on the shank to act like a boat keel, keeping the bait running upright, reducing roll, and producing a cleaner horizontal fall. It also features an extra-wide gap for thicker plastics and a tapered locking spring that secures soft baits firmly without tearing them. Current retail listings confirm the #5/0 model is offered in 1/16 oz, 3/32 oz, and 1/8 oz weighted versions, with 4 hooks per pack.
