Trojháček BKK Fangs-63 UA #2 (7ks)

Product detailed description

BKK Fangs-63 UA #2 is a larger working size in the 3X range between #4 and #1. It is intended for hardbaits that need greater gape around the body and a more robust strength reserve. Specific reference examples include a 105 mm popper weighing approximately 25 g and a 105 mm sinking stickbait weighing approximately 40 g. These two points do not define a universal range; their difference demonstrates the importance of lure construction.

A popper and sinking stickbait of the same length work differently. On a popper, its position at the surface, start-up response after a pull and ability to retain the intended action are important. On a sinking stickbait, sink rate, angle and stability are decisive. Size #2 can suit both when it matches the original rigging, but a shared length of 105 mm does not confirm the correct choice on its own.

The 3X designation defines a more robust construction and wire class, not an exact load rating in kilograms or a guaranteed threefold increase in strength. On Fangs-63 #2, this reserve is the main difference from 2X ranges. Replacement can, however, change the lure’s weight, resistance and centre of gravity, so 3X is not automatically better where the lightest possible rigging and subtle action are the priorities.

The forged Fangs-63 uses a bend inspired by O’Shaughnessy geometry, a regular eye and three needle-sharp points with standard barbs. On a wider popper or stickbait, the points must extend clear of the body’s sides. Check every point individually because one blunt or mechanically damaged point reduces the performance of the complete treble even when the other two remain sharp.

On a popper weighing approximately 25 g, check that #2 does not pull down the rear and interfere with the correct start-up response or surface action. On a sinking stickbait weighing approximately 40 g, compare the sink rate and angle with the original hook. In both cases, ensure that the treble rotates freely and does not catch the body, leader or other hook during sharp movement.

Neighbouring #4 is the better choice when you want to limit rigging weight and profile or when both hooks sit too close together on a shorter body. #1 adds working gape for wider, bulkier lures on which the points of #2 remain too close to the sides. Moving between #4, #2 and #1 is not determined by a simple lure weight; the complete geometry, original rigging and verified action are decisive.

Fangs-63 UA #2 is the 3X counterpart to the 2X Fangs-62 UA #2, not an automatically dimension-matched replacement. Fangs-62 is the logical choice when the lure needs lighter rigging and the 2X reserve is sufficient. Fangs-63 prioritises a more robust construction. Before replacement, compare overall height, gape, shank length, wire, eye and weight; the shared #2 designation does not guarantee a match in these characteristics.

Sting-32 MT is also available in size #2 but performs a different role. It is a 2X hook for freshwater and light inshore use, with an inward-turned Combat Point and a matt finish. Fangs-63 UA #2 uses a 3X construction, needle points in the Fangs family and an Ultra-Antirust coating. Base the choice on fishing environment, point geometry, required reserve and the influence of weight on the specific lure.

Treble-hook sizing is not standardised across manufacturers or product ranges. A #2 from another manufacturer or family may have different gape, overall height, shank length and wire diameter. Correct replacement therefore begins with a direct comparison against the original hook, not by ordering the same size number without further inspection. The final test must always take place on the specific lure in the water.

On a hardbait fitted with two trebles, check the distance between the front and rear hooks at maximum deflection. The split ring must allow free movement without unnecessarily increasing the distance between the hook and body. If the points lock together during casting or retrieve, catch the leader or repeatedly strike the lure’s finish, adjust the hook or split-ring size.

Ultra-Antirust increases corrosion resistance in saltwater, but rinse the hook with fresh water after fishing and allow it to dry completely. Inspect the points, barbs, eye, forged profile, coating and split ring. Store hooks with this coating separately from lead items. Replace a damaged or blunt treble before fitting it to a lure again.

This version contains 7 treble hooks in size #2. SAF does not include the exact weight of one hook in the product parameters without carrying out its own physical weighing. Check all three points before first use and repeat the inspection after contact with rock, metal or another hard obstruction.

For more detailed guidance on size, working gape and the effect of hook weight on the lure, see our BKK Fangs-62 UA treble hook 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.

Fangs-63 UA #2 is suitable for hardbaits on which #4 does not provide enough gape but #1 would add unnecessary profile or weight. The examples of a 105 mm popper weighing approximately 25 g and a sinking stickbait weighing approximately 40 g show two different construction roles for the same hook size. The final choice is based on physical comparison, point clearance and preserved lure action, not length or weight alone.

Frequently asked questions – BKK Fangs-63 UA #2

Why can #2 suit both a 25 g popper and a 40 g stickbait?

Because these are two structurally different reference lures of the same length. Body width, hook-hanger positions, buoyancy, sink characteristics and original rigging also determine the hook size.

Can Fangs-63 UA #2 affect a popper’s surface action?

Yes. The more robust 3X hook can alter the position of the rear, start-up response and surface action. After replacement, compare the lure with its original rigging both at rest and during a normal retrieve.

How can I tell whether to choose #4, #2 or #1?

#4 limits weight and profile, #2 forms the larger working step and #1 adds gape around a bulkier body. Check point exposure, hook spacing and the lure’s actual action.

Is Fangs-62 UA #2 a direct replacement for Fangs-63 UA #2?

Not automatically. Fangs-62 is a 2X construction and Fangs-63 a 3X construction; they may differ in both dimensions and weight. Fangs-62 preserves the action more sensitively, while Fangs-63 offers a more robust reserve if the lure can carry it.

How does Sting-32 MT differ in size #2?

Sting-32 MT is a 2X range with an inward-turned Combat Point and a matt finish for freshwater and light inshore use. Fangs-63 is a 3X range with different geometry and an Ultra-Antirust coating.

Does 3X in size #2 mean three times the strength?

No. 3X identifies the construction and wire class, not an exact multiple of strength or a load rating in kilograms. Reliability also depends on the split ring, leader, drag and condition of the complete setup.

How should I inspect #2 after saltwater use?

After rinsing and complete drying, inspect all three points, barbs, eye, forged profile, coating and split ring. Store the hook separately from lead items.
