Not that I know of, I think it's the swivels that's the issue, as korda had to get theses made to a higher tolerance so the weights fit.

This was the same with my testing. I'm prodominantly using northern specials and the 30g sank, ns1 12mm, 13-14mm and ns1+

You don't need to go as heavy as you may think with these, the .30g sank a 15mm pop up with ease when I tested in the sink. Would say you would only need to go heavier for a larger pop or a corkball...

I have had 4 fish since using them to be honest. I was concerned by the colour but doesn't seem to matter at the moment!

Give it 12 months and they will come out in new colours which are a 'must have'....

To be fair they did say on release they have to fit with Korda size 11 swivels as different manufacturers vary slightly in sizes.
I have been looking at them, they look like a great idea, as has been said I would possibly prefer a darker colour, although saying that I've got a couple of the Jag hook pens to stop corrosion which would do the job

I like the idea I really do but I don't like the colour, I would prefer a more hidden colour like a dark brown, green or even black. Just thing the silver colour wouldn't look right

Blimey 50 grammes is not far short of 2oz. That's a hell of a balance weight.

I don't know if any of you have managed to get your hands on these yet, I ordered a mixed pot and got them yesterday! I would definitely recommend buying a mixed pot and playing around with your chosen hook baits and hooks, because it turns out that my two combinations, A DT baits zinger pop-up in 15mm and 12mm with Korda wide gapes in 4&6 respectively will only require purchasing the 50g weights.
The 50g weight sinks my hook and bait quickly (using a Ronnie) but the 45g weight means the whole thing floats to the surface like a rubber dinghy, So if I use these weights there is no slow sinking hook bait for me!
With the 12mm bait on a size 6, even the smallest 30g weight was way too heavy!
I would also say that you have to buy the Korda size 11 ring swivels. They were the only one that I had (and I have loads from different manufacturers) that they would fit. Surprise surprise. I wasn't too keen to manipulate them to fit either as I felt I would snap them.
This may be just waffle but may help some of you....
