michaelray 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 I wasn't planning on ordering any more hooks for a few weeks until I saw it on facebook. 5 minutes and 15 bucks later..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dcap240 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 Anybody who has ordered from allen before, what does "awaiting shipment" mean? Does it mean that they are waiting for a shipment of hooks? Or does it mean my order is ready, just waiting to be shipped out? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atxdiscgolfer 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 I order from them all the time, it means that your order is awaiting shipment, you will get another email within 48 hrs saying that your order has been shipped and you should get your hooks within 7 business days from them. They are quick to respond to any customer service inquiries and if anything is wrong with yourprder they WILL make it right. One of the best fly fishing vendors out there.

Piker20 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 My hooks arrived today. The barbless jigs are awesome. Easily as good as any of the ones I've had from 'premium' manufacturers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fletchfishes 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 I bought some of the jig hooks on impulse to reach the required amount to qualify for the discount. Any suggestions on patterns to try? I've heard some use them for beadhead nymphs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Piker20 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 Yeah I'm new to the jig hook too and I'm loving them more and more for fishing. Yep bead heads are an obvious choice as the bead will ensure it fishes point up. I use slotted beads as they sit a bit more asthetically on the jig hooks but for fishing normal beads are fine. I tie some of my flies with the top and bottom orientated so again it looks right when the hook sits point up but not sure the fish care. I try to tie in materials that will pulse or swim nicely with the jigging action the hooks give. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alter the colours and that will be killer in the salt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
