I purchased the jig hooks and the slotted tungsten beads and the beads, 2.8/3.3 both cover the eye of the 12/14:16 jig hooks and can’t see any part of the eye. Jared is looking into the beads but thought i would comment and see if the hooks were the issue. Hooks seem great and beads are great but the match isn’t great.
I just starting using slotted beads a year ago and they are hard to find! These are a good value and high quality.
Very nice beads,we fill in slot and attach #8,10 Gamakatsu bait keeper hooks on top with solder, great for making tear drops for fishing perch and whitefish down deep. Sink super fast, less tangles . Friends and I have purchased 100's of these. Fast service, quality product
Some of the best beads you can find at this price point. Make sure to consult the sizing chart while ordering though. I found the chart to be fairly accurate.
sized correctly. great quality. thanks.
These slotted beads are heavy and perfectly round. Amazing value, I will only get my beads from Allen. Fantastic company and laser fast shipping!!
I recently received standard silver tungsten beads rather than the slotted types that I ordered. When I called them, they were most gracious and I received the correct beads within a couple of days. They are my "go to" source for their types of products and will continue to be so.
Beads have worked very well for me.
I really love every thing that I have used! I been trying to get some for some time. I would hate to shop elsewhere! I don't want to.
