I like the hooks, they are sharp and work well.
although slightly counter-intuitive since it is listed as a dry fly hook, this is an excellent carp fly hook in size 6. I also ordered the size 4 in this model hook, and for some reason it is quite different, with a black finish instead of bronze and does not appear to be as strong. stick with the #6 if you are tying carp flies.
The D202 is a great cicada hook. It's very strong, has a great gape, and is true-to-size. The best part is the price. Super value!!
Have ordered these hooks numerous times before- good hooks, good quality.
Excellent in every respect
Hook was easy o use in flying tying and has good tinsel strength. he in is sharp and looks to hold its sharpness. Good Value for the price
I use this hook for a lot of my light freshwater fly fishing in Florida. This includes small bass, various sunfish and exotic species like Mayan cichlids and Tilapia. It is a light wire hook so it is not suitable for large fish or if you need to apply a lot of pressure to a fish to keep it out of structure. These hooks will bend but they don't break. The light wire penetrates very well.
The best hooks that I have ever tied on. I have purchased many of the Allen fly hooks in the past and will continue to do so. The guys are great to work with as I buy in quantity. I will certainly continue to buy and use their hooks..
Good looking hook. Here's a link to a Western Green Drake I tied on it......
