Anybody familiar with Allen & Co.?
I am not familiar with this company, might be new? Anyone have any experience with this? Is this for real? I can't find a location anywhere, so I don't even know if the store/company is located in the U.S.

Noticed this reel looks very similar to a Cabela's SLA:

Not familiar with them, but I went to the site per your link and they have some killer deals on hooks @ $6.99/100hooks.

Best price I ever saw on those hooks.Originally Posted by kglissmeyer
i have never dealt with them but with those hook prices i may be dealing with them very soon, all their stuff that is posted on their site looks pretty good and well priced. if someone ends up dealing with them let me know how they are to deal with

The reels look very nice. The Alpha looks like a knock off of a Cablelas SLA.
I wrote that last sentence and then re-read you post.......great minds.
Good fishing technique trumps all.....wish I had it.
I'd "take one for the team" and order a reel...buy maybe one of you guys interested in the hooks should give it a spin first. Being out $7 versus $60 seems a better way to check them out.

They maintain an e-bay store under the same name and have 100% feedback with quite a few transactions.
Keep in mind these are not Tiemco hooks.
We use cross reference numbers to help you identify our hooks below.
Copied from their site:
"Our lines are coated with PVC to prevent corrosion. The core of our lines are manufactured with a braided nylon for strength. We carry WF lines in floating, intermediate, and sinking.
We also have a Saltwater, Bonfish, Shooting Head, and Sink Tip lines. These lines are designed to be unique to it's specific use."
"To prevent corrosion"?
"Intermediate" rather than F/S?
"Bonfish"?
"These lines are designed to be unique to it's specific use." Plural subject, singular object.
There is enough questionable stuff right there to make me avoid them.
why don't you try emailing them before jumping to any conclusions, although I do see where you're coming from just by reading the website...who knows...time will tell.
