Product Information
Full details
Designed for carp anglers who demand precision in their rig presentation, the RidgeMonkey Connexion Rock Bottom Tungsten Putty is the ideal solution for counterbalancing pop-ups and ensuring your hooklinks remain pinned to the lake bed. This highly malleable, high-density material offers exceptional adhesion, making it perfect for fine-tuning critically balanced rigs without the need for additional sinkers or heavy hardware. While it provides excellent concealment and weight, anglers should be aware that it can become stiffer in extremely cold temperatures, requiring a bit of extra warming in the hands before application.

Troubleshooting
Putty is too hard to mold
Work the putty between your fingers for 30-60 seconds to soften it using your natural body heat.
Putty slides off the hooklink during casting
Ensure the hooklink is clean and dry before application. Mold the putty around a knot or a swivel for a secure anchor point.
Pros and Cons

- Easy to blend colors for custom camo patterns
- Lead-free and non-toxic
- Strong grip prevents movement during casting
Cons
- Requires warming in hands during cold weather

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply the putty effectively, remove a small piece from the container and work it between your thumb and forefinger to soften the material. Once pliable, press it firmly onto the hooklink or hardware.
Compatibility: This putty is compatible with all standard coated and uncoated braided hooklinks, as well as fluorocarbon materials.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the lid tightly closed when not in use to maintain the material's consistency.
- If the putty becomes too stiff due to cold air temperatures, keep the tub in an inside pocket of your jacket close to your body heat.
- Avoid leaving it on the rig for multiple days without inspection; if it becomes heavily soiled with silt, scrape it off and replace it with fresh material for optimal grip.
