Product Information
Full details
Trakker Tungsten Rig Putty is an essential tool for carp and specimen anglers looking to achieve advanced rig concealment and presentation. Designed for those who prioritize precise rig fine-tuning, this high-density material ensures your hooklink stays pinned to the lakebed while helping to perfectly balance pop-up baits. While it offers superior molding capabilities, users should note that the putty becomes slightly firmer in cold water, requiring a bit of extra warmth from your hands during winter sessions to maintain optimal pliability.

FAQs
Is Trakker Tungsten Rig Putty reusable?
Yes, it is reusable throughout the session, provided it remains clean and free of excessive debris.
How much putty should I use?
Start with a small, pea-sized amount and adjust based on the buoyancy of your pop-up bait and the weight requirements of your specific rig.
Will this putty damage my fishing line?
No, the material is designed to be inert and safe for use with all common monofilament, braid, and fluorocarbon hooklinks.
Can I use this in freezing winter temperatures?
Yes, but you will need to keep the putty warm in your pocket between uses as it naturally stiffens in the cold.
Does the 20g pack last long?
Since you only need a small amount for each rig, a 20g pack is substantial and will last for many fishing trips.
Is the putty non-toxic?
The product is designed for angling use; however, it should always be kept away from children and pets.
Troubleshooting
Putty is too hard to mold.
Knead it for a longer period in your warm hands or place it in a pocket close to your body heat for a few minutes.
Putty slides off the swivel during casting.
Ensure the swivel is clean and dry before application, and mold the putty into a streamlined, aerodynamic teardrop shape.
Putty has picked up too much dirt/grit.
It is best to replace the contaminated portion, as debris can cause the putty to lose its adhesive properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply the putty, simply pull off a pea-sized amount and work it between your thumb and forefinger until it is warm and pliable. Wrap the material around your chosen point—usually the swivel eye or a dedicated rig ring—and squeeze it firmly to ensure it grips the line. For added security, twist the putty into a streamlined shape to reduce air resistance during a cast.
Care Instructions
- Warmth: If the putty feels too firm, hold it in your palm or pocket for a minute to utilize your body heat.
- Storage: Keep the putty in its container when not in use to prevent it from picking up grit or debris that could affect its stickiness.
- Compatibility: The putty is compatible with all standard fluorocarbon and braided hooklink materials.
