VMC Tolo Rig Heavy Duty Wide Gap Black Nickel 10ct Size 3/0
The VMC Tolo Rig is a heavy-duty wide gap hook designed for anglers throwing swimbaits and other live or soft plastic presentations. Built with black nickel finish for corrosion resistance in both freshwater and saltwater conditions, this hook gives you a durable, reliable foundation for rigging swimbaits, mullet, shiners, and other baitfish imitations. The wide gap design provides better hook-to-fish geometry, helping you land more bites when you're targeting bass, pike, catfish, and other species that eat baitfish patterns.
VMC is known for precision manufacturing and quality materials, and the Tolo Rig carries that reputation into a practical, no-nonsense hook that won't let you down when it matters. The black nickel coating resists rust and corrosion better than standard finishes, keeping your rig functional and looking sharp through multiple trips. Whether you're flipping swimbaits in cover, dragging them along structure, or suspending them under a bobber, this hook is built to handle the fight.
Each pack contains 10 hooks in size 3/0, giving you plenty of rigs to tie and backups in your tackle box. The size is versatile enough for medium to larger swimbaits and soft plastics, making it a solid all-around choice for swimbait anglers who want reliable hardware without overthinking it.
