Has anyone found an alternative supplier of 0.6mm krimps for use with the Korda tool as they seem to be out of stock at tackle shops.

They are a little longer than the Korda ones, has that caused any issue?

I actually found the whycwood ones better when I used them for crimping bristle filament, the Korda one always slipped.
However I think they did make a design change to the Korda ones when they launched the new boom material, and I did it all before that.

use both Korda and wychwood and no problems with either
BUT ! if I could only use one it most definitely would be the wychwood as IMHO they are superior due to the flared ends

I did the same and have found them to be spot on. No issues at all strength-wise, and I test any new rig bits to the point of destruction before allowing them to be cast out 👍🏻
