Product Information
Full details
Designed for carp anglers who demand precision and stealth, the Thinking Anglers Tungsten Rig Putty is an essential tool for creating balanced, low-profile presentations. Its primary benefit is its high density, which allows for effortless pinning of hooklinks and perfectly balanced pop-ups, though users should note that it can become stiff in cold weather, requiring manual warming before application.

FAQs
Can this putty be used on all types of hooklinks?
Yes, it is compatible with most coated braids and mono hooklinks, provided they are clean and dry.
Does the green color work in all lake bottoms?
The green tone is highly versatile and works exceptionally well in weedy and silty environments where it blends with natural vegetation.
Is the putty reusable?
Yes, the putty remains moldable and can be removed and reused on different rigs.
Will it come off when casting at long range?
When molded properly around a swivel or knot, it is designed to withstand the force of a standard cast.
How much putty should I use for a pop-up?
Use small amounts incrementally, testing the buoyancy in a bucket of water until the hookbait behaves exactly as desired.
Troubleshooting
Putty is too hard and difficult to mold
Warm the putty in your hands or pocket for a few minutes to soften the tungsten compound.
Putty slides off the hooklink
Ensure the rig is dry before application and mold the putty into a streamline shape around a knot or swivel to help it 'grip' the line.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, take a small pea-sized amount of putty and knead it between your thumb and forefinger until it becomes pliable. Press it firmly onto your rig—around swivels or hooklink knots work best. If the putty feels too stiff during winter sessions, keep the container in an inner pocket close to your body heat to keep the compound soft. Always ensure the surface of your hooklink or swivel is dry before applying the putty to maximize adhesion. After a session, store the putty back in its container to prevent it from collecting dirt or drying out prematurely.
