BLADED 1X STRONG ROUND BEND MUSKY TREBLE

Bass, walleye and trout anglers went gaga last year doctoring their lures and jigs with VMC’s new bladed trebles. At the time, I wrote that VMC needed to give pike and muskie anglers the same option—and someone was clearly paying attention. The bladed trebles now also come in size 5/0 with a choice of Colorado, Indiana or willowleaf blades, allowing anglers to precisely customize their toothy critter baits for more flash and vibration.
