Allen hooks

Has anyone used Allen hooks?

If so, would you recommend them?

Thanks in advance,

Yes and yes.

Free shipping, too. Tough to beat, especially if you buy in 25 pks.

I too have purchased, used and am pleased with them.

I gave them a good running on some salmon this past weekend. Here's my analysis.

I was using streamer hooks in sizes 4-8. Also had some beads from Allen. They held up great. Didn't break or bend a single one, even on foul hooks. Nice and sharp, but most didn't last too long with those big salmon to see how the sharpness lasted.

I also used sz 10 scud hooks for eggs. I bent several of them on foul hooked fish. Nothing out of the ordinary there though. A 20lb+ fish will do that to a sz 10 hook. Now I used dai riki's for years in the same size and rarely ever bent one, but never hooked salmon with them either so it's not that much of a fair comparison.

Flipnfly was using other hooks this weekend and he broke more than a handful. Not sure exactly what brand he was using. Allen held up against the competition.

All in all for the money, they are pretty stinking good.

Good hooks at a great price.

Good luck, Tony
