Looking for some info on these products or any similar product
I'm currently on the North Met Pit crayfish are a complete nightmare so the use of tungsten putty is a big no.
I'm mainly using the Ronnie rig or Chod rig with artificial baits so just want something to keep my pop up weigted down

I find the korda weights a pain in the arse to get on the swivel,the ESP clips are excellent and I love how quickly you can change the hook

Ditto the ESP. They hold pretty much anything down.

Korda weights are useless indeed

If the ESP ones are anything like tungsten beads/tubing then the crays will get at them. Nothing with any rubberised tungsten will be any good.
Split shot on braid tied to the swivel works. Doesn't look as tidy but it sinks the pop up.

Oh yes, the crays in the Lea Valley. I remember them on Nazeing, a proper hookbait could go missing in 10minutes.
I went to soaked wooden balls to combat them, see Kens sticky thread in 'bait'.
When I needed a real pop-up on top of my wooden ball for a Snowman, I went to match anglers olivettes. Various sizes, get the ones held in place by fine silicon tubing, Drennan Matchmaster or Polemaster I think they are called.
Put on hooklink before tying to Ronnie swivel, sorted and you can change olivette size.
Anything with tungsten tubing gets mauled and chewed to pieces.

I like the Korda weights, but also use the Korda ronnie swivels so have no issues with fitment. (I remember them saying they had to improve the manufacturing of the swivels to make it all work) if you do find they are too tight or loose you can adjust them slightly with a flat blade or the crimp tool.

I've been fishing a cray water lately, I use the small fox weights secured with elastic tubing provided either BB or AAA versions

My mate has been using the same fox weights in france he just puts them over a crimped conection and tightens a bit more with pliars, says he hasn't lost one fishing the public lakes with lots of crays

ESP Ronnie clips are the business _ I use them for hinge stiffs though
