BKK Fangs-63 UA Treble Hooks 2/0 (6pcs)

Product detailed description

BKK Fangs-63 UA 2/0 is a large 3X size for bigbaits, glidebaits, large stickbaits, topwater lures and heavy metal lures. Its role is not to define one universal lure length or weight, but to provide more working gape around a wide lure body where size 1/0 no longer offers enough clearance.

With size 2/0, a physical comparison with the original treble hook must always take priority over the number printed on the pack. Check the overall height, gape, shank length, wire diameter, eye and weight. The hook must rotate freely on the split ring, its points must project clear of the lure body and multiple trebles must not interlock.

The 3X designation describes the wire and strength class of the construction. It is not an exact load rating in kilograms and does not mean that the hook is three times stronger than another model. Fangs-63 is a more robust alternative to the 2X Fangs-62 range, but the actual strength of the complete setup also depends on the split ring, leader, knot, drag setting and the way the fish is played.

The geometry is based on the traditional O’Shaughnessy bend. BKK combines it with a forged shank, regular eye and three needle-sharp barbed points. The shank length is designed for different hardbaits, including topwaters, minnows and crankbaits. Before use, check that the eye moves freely on the split ring.

BKK uses its proprietary BKK-81WV high-carbon steel. The Ultra-Antirust (UA) coating increases corrosion resistance and gives Fangs-63 a primarily saltwater role, while the hook can also be used in freshwater. After saltwater fishing, rinse the hook with fresh water, allow it to dry completely and inspect the points, eye and coating.

BKK explicitly recommends storing Ultra-Antirust hooks separately from lead items. Do not leave them in direct contact with pilkers, sinkers or other lead components in the tackle box. Replace any blunt, bent or mechanically damaged point; an intact-looking coating alone does not confirm that the point remains sharp.

Consider size 2/0 on bigbaits, glidebaits and large stickbaits when 1/0 is too closely shielded by the lure profile. On a jointed lure, make sure that the hook does not restrict the movement of the segments. On a glidebait, check the width of the glide and its return to centre; excessively heavy rigging can alter both.

On large topwater lures and heavy metal lures, check the at-rest position, sink rate and freedom of hook movement. A wide topwater may require the gape of size 2/0, while a heavier but slimmer metal lure may still work correctly with 1/0. Lure weight alone is not a valid selection rule.

Compared with 1/0, size 2/0 adds not only gape but also weight and drag. It can alter buoyancy, centre of gravity, movement frequency and sink rate. After replacement, always test the lure in the water and compare it with the original rigging, especially on floating and suspending models.

In the same nominal size, Fangs-62 UA 2/0 is the lighter 2X alternative. Fangs-63 UA 2/0 provides the extra strength of a 3X construction but has a greater effect on a sensitively balanced lure. Choose Fangs-62 when lure action is the priority; choose Fangs-63 when the lure can carry the more robust profile and the expected load requires additional strength.

Sting-32 MT is not available in size 2/0. Its light freshwater and inshore range ends at #1. The main comparison at 2/0 is therefore between the 2X Fangs-62 and 3X Fangs-63; evaluate specialised heavy-duty ranges separately according to the specific fishing method.

Size 1/0 is the less bulky choice for hardbaits that do not yet need maximum clearance. Size 2/0 is the working option for wider bigbaits and topwater lures. Consider 3/0 only when 2/0 is shielded by the lure body or does not provide enough room for a clean hook-up.

Fangs-63 UA 2/0 is not automatically a direct replacement for every treble hook carrying the same size designation. Hook sizing is not dimensionally standardised between manufacturers or construction ranges. Compare the overall height, working gape, shank length, wire diameter, eye and weight, then test the lure’s actual behaviour in the water.

The BKK Fangs-63 UA comparison table shows the practical role of all eight sizes and explains when the stronger 3X construction makes sense compared with the lighter 2X Fangs-62 UA. The specific dimensions and weights in the table are verified examples of recommended rigging, not a universal conversion chart for every lure.

This version contains 6 treble hooks in size 2/0. SAF does not include the exact weight of one hook in the Product Parameters without its own physical weighing. Before first use, check all three points and repeat the inspection after contact with rock, metal or another hard obstruction.

For a more detailed look at size, working gape and the effect of hook weight on lure action, also see the BKK Fangs-62 UA size guide. The article provides a lighter 2X reference map; when moving to Fangs-63, physically compare the dimensions again and test the heavier 3X rigging.

BKK Fangs-63 UA 2/0 is intended for anglers looking for a large 3X treble hook with enough working gape for wide bigbaits, glidebaits and topwater lures. It has no fixed universal size range; physical comparison and an in-water lure test confirm the correct choice.

Frequently asked questions – BKK Fangs-63 UA 2/0

Which lures suit BKK Fangs-63 UA 2/0?

It suits bigbaits, glidebaits, large stickbaits, topwater lures and heavy metal lures where size 1/0 does not provide enough clearance around the body. Always compare its dimensions with the original hook.

Which lure length or weight is size 2/0 intended for?

BKK does not provide a universal conversion for size 2/0. Length and weight alone are not enough; body width, working gape, buoyancy, number of hook hangers and the original rigging all matter.

What is the difference between Fangs-63 2/0 and Fangs-62 2/0?

Fangs-63 is the more robust 3X option with extra strength. Fangs-62 is the lighter 2X option and generally has less effect on lure action, centre of gravity and buoyancy.

When should I choose 1/0 and when 2/0?

Use 1/0 when it provides enough gape and you want to minimise hook weight. Consider 2/0 on a wider body that shields the points of a 1/0 hook or restricts its free movement.

Can size 2/0 be used on a glidebait?

Yes, provided that the hook does not restrict segment movement and the lure can carry its weight. Check the width of the glide, stability, sink rate and whether the front and rear trebles can interlock.

Is Fangs-63 2/0 a replacement for every size 2/0 hook?

No. Hook sizing is not dimensionally standardised between manufacturers or ranges. Compare the overall height, gape, wire, eye and weight, then check the lure’s actual action in the water.

How should I care for the Ultra-Antirust coating after saltwater fishing?

Rinse the hook with fresh water, allow it to dry completely and inspect the points and coating. Store it away from items made of lead, as recommended by BKK.
