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.

Was about to ask the same question, so thanks all for the info. Have ordered the lockdown ones and will report back 👍🏻

Bumped for another thread

Utter nonsense used them for 15 years

I was actually pleased my house was burgled and I had a lot of Korda krap knicked wasted enough money of that garbage total fail.

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 totally agree Gerry

Bought some of the lockdown 0.6 ones off eBay. Will see how they feel.

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 👍🏻
