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 👍🏻

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 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.

They are a little longer than the Korda ones, has that caused any issue?

Yes I know, the question is has anyone used any of the suppliers successfully with the Korda tool.

Has anyone found an alternative supplier of 0.6mm krimps for use with the Korda tool as they seem to be out of stock at tackle shops.
Cheers
