Pretty sure Nash openly admitted it was the same stuff when they released it.

So they've halved the qty and doubled the price

F*cking rip-off merchants.

Wether it's a different factory and different tungsten it's no different from what taska sold they have just copied what taska sold with lesser items in the packet

I've used both taska and Nash in both sizes and cannot tell the difference, small for critically balanced and large for over weighted

That's funny, I've just tested and the nash version is definitely heavier and a slightly different finish so I think they are not the same product. The nash ones are perfect actually as I was having to add some heavy metal inside the taska ones

Rather than start a new thread thought I would add to this one. I just wondered if anyone knew if any of the cheaper end tackle companies have started selling these as well or is it just Nash?

No idea but ESP do a decent alternative now (Tungsten Loaded Balance Beads), 8 for 4 quid vs. the Nash 5 for 5 quid.

I am still using the same pack of Taska ones I've had for maybe 5 years now so I wouldn't worry about price tbh mate.

IB Hooks do chad beads that look identical to taska/Nash ones, have used them and seem ok to me, cheaper too
