FAQs
Is this putty reusable?
Yes, you can retrieve the putty from your rig after a session, reshape it, and place it back in the tin.
Does the putty affect the presentation of a pop-up rig?
It is perfect for pop-up rigs, as it helps counteract the buoyancy of the bait and ensures the rig sits exactly where you want it.
Will this putty harden over time?
As long as you keep it stored in its airtight tin, the putty should remain pliable for a long duration.
How much should I use?
Start with a small amount. You only need enough weight to hold your specific hooklink material flat to the lake bed.
Can I mix this with other weights?
Yes, it is often used in combination with rig rings or micro-swivels to achieve perfect balance.
Is the black color suitable for all lake beds?
The black color is highly effective for dark, silty, or peat-stained bottoms where it blends in perfectly.
Troubleshooting
Putty comes off during the cast
Ensure the rig component is dry before application and press the putty firmly to 'lock' it onto the swivel or knot.
Putty is too hard to mold
Warm the material in your hands or keep the tin in an inside pocket to maintain a pliable temperature.
Putty slides on the hooklink material
Strip back any outer coating on the line or create a small knot as a stopper to provide a friction point for the putty.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance, ensure the area of the rig where you apply the putty is clean and dry. If the hooklink material is coated or slippery, remove the coating slightly to give the putty a better grip.
Application Steps:
- Take a small amount of putty from the tin.
- Work the putty between your fingers to warm it up until it becomes tacky.
- Wrap it around the desired section of your rig.
- Apply pressure to taper the putty into a smooth, streamlined shape to avoid tangles.
Care: Keep the lid of the tin tightly closed when not in use to prevent dust accumulation. If the putty becomes too stiff in winter, keep the tin in a pocket to warm it with body heat before application.
