Steel core Ball end Nylon strings

Any thought on these strings. I've seen a couple videos with people using them but I have yet to find a set locally! Thanks

Most ball-end nylon strings are regular monofilament / metal wound multifilament strings with an attached ball-end.

The only ball-end nylon strings with a metal core that I know of are Thomastik-Infeld "John Pearce Folk". These are regular silver-plated wound over nylon basses but the trebles have a flexible steel rope core overwound with nylon tape.
