Sell similar things on Ali Express for a fraction of the price.

Have you given them a strength test with a couple of pullers.

I just got some today. I had some Gemini to compare to, the fluorocarbon is definitely thinner, and less rigid and as a result the fuzed section is much smaller. I'll give them a try in a fishing situation they'll probably be fine but for me and a couple of quid on 3 rigs the Gemini is a superior product.

Interested if anyone has a comparison to the RM/Advanta booms..I'm sure one of these unscrupulous companies (not specifically either of the ones mentioned) will be flipping the cheap Chinese booms.

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.
