Hi Guy's, is the above any better than the Korda offering which seems to break on me quite regularly?

I've the same Korda ones I've had for a few years and never broken one yet?! The RM is ok but if you load it up with anything but soft baits it can be a chore to squash

I've got the RM choppa I actually really like mine, I use sticky krill and they seem to slice them in half pretty easily. I've had mine since it came out and going strong still without any issues

Yes the RM is alot better if you want to do quite a few chops.The korda one hurts your hand pushing it down too.If using harder baits in the RM just put it on the floor and press down with both hands

Will the medium (18-20mm) RM choppa handle smaller boilies as well (to negate buying 2x sizes of choppa). .?
Always found the larger Korda Kutter struggles with 15mm boilies and ends up squashing them . . .this is a pain when using mixed sizes of bait regularly . . .

I would imagine it would,the bait might not be cut in half if it sits to the side of the tube

The ridgemonkey choppa is spot on. Deffinetly would recommend it.

I have the 20mm size RM choppa, it does 16mm baits OK but it cuts most into a 2/3 and 1/3 sizes.
To improve the cutting into more even sizes you can to hold it vertical before you put pressure on the blade. This will allow the smaller baits to sit centrally and when the blade goes through the baits they be cut more into halves.
So load the tray horizontally, put the pusher part in place to hold the boilies in place and turn it vertical, then slightly release the pressure on the boilies so they can sit central in the tubes, then press the two parts together.

Another thumbs up from me for the Ridgemonkey Choppa. I use to use the Korda chopper never again Ridgemonkey ones are miles better in every department.
