Yeah, standard practice for me after I made my first crimped boom back in 2012'ish and it failed (I never tested it)

So did the temu ones seem solid, no crimp slippage.
Please say they are solid, I've already ordered a couple of packets of each type

Yeah, I bought a pack of each, all good.
At the time, I bought more of the Krank copies too. They are NOT as good as Korda Kranks, the wire is thicker and they are not as sharp. They are fine for single use on the river though, but I don't use them on syndicate waters etc, preferring the better quality Korda real McCoy

The hirisi beaked points are decent for the river, I use them in a 6 and 8 for barbel and don't need any extra sharpening. The curves are also good in 6 and 8.

Anyone seen any deals on Okuma Inc 6000's

Not sure I would trust a critical piece of end tackle to Temu/AliExpress would rather stick to tried and trusted products even if they cost a bit more (Gemini are not overly expensive in my opinion).

I see Lidl have got some chest waders coming in from Sunday for £30, no idea on the quality, but may be worth a punt for the occasional user.

I think I will get a pair or two of the joggers at £6.99
Cheaper than the Hippopotachunk efforts in ASDA which I was gifted for birthday (the zipped pockets on them are small, I haven't got huge hands, but it's a pain getting hands in/out to grab keys etc)
