BKK Armor-Point HYPER LATCH 71-SS Treble Hook

Upgrade your hard baits and big-game terminal tackle with the ultimate balance of rapid penetration and unstoppable holding power. The BKK Armor-Point HYPER LATCH 71-SS features a hybrid hook shape that bridges the gap between the instant point engagement of a traditional round bend and the superior structural strength of an O’Shaughnessy bend.

Engineered specifically for anglers demanding maximum hookup ratios when targeting hard-mouthed, trophy predators, this medium-wire treble hook resists opening under heavy loads while maintaining a sleek, fast-sticking profile. Whether retrofitting crankbaits, topwaters, or swimbait rigs, the HYPER LATCH 71-SS gives you the holding confidence needed to turn close calls into landed fish.

Key Features & Performance Highlights

• Hybrid Bend Design: Blends deep-hooking round-bend geometry with the structural reinforcement of an O’Shaughnessy bend to lock fish in place.

• Hyper Carbon Steel (HCS): Forged from premium HCS alloy to deliver significantly greater tensile strength, rigidity, and point sharpness over standard high-carbon metals.

• Super Slide Coating: Finished with BKK's ultra-low-friction PTFE coating to drive points deep with minimal pressure on set.

• Resilient Medium-Wire Gauge: Provides the ideal strength-to-weight ratio to avoid dampening the natural swimming action of your hard lures.

Pro Tip

PRO TIP: When upgrading hooks on delicate crankbaits or floating jerkbaits, make sure to match the original factory weight closely so you don't alter the lure's buoyancy or action. Thanks to the Super Slide coating, you do not need to slam the rod with excessive force on long casts—apply steady, firm pressure to drive these slick points past the barb easily!
