FAQs
What is NGT Tungsten Putty used for?
It is used to counterbalance pop-up fishing rigs and to pin down hook links, ensuring they remain near the lakebed and are less visible to fish.
Is this putty suitable for all types of fishing?
While designed for carp fishing, its weighting and pinning properties can be beneficial in other coarse fishing applications where precise rig presentation is key.
How much putty should I use?
The amount depends on the specific rig and desired buoyancy or weight. Start with a small amount, about the size of a pea, and adjust as needed.
Will the black color affect its performance?
The black color is advantageous as it helps the putty blend in with the lakebed substrate, reducing the chances of spooking wary fish.
Can I reuse the putty?
Yes, if removed carefully and stored properly, the putty can be reused multiple times.
What is the consistency of the putty?
It has a high density and is designed to be easily mouldable, becoming more pliable when warmed by hand.
Does it float or sink?
The putty is exceptionally high density and is designed to sink, helping to counterbalance pop-ups and keep lines down.
Troubleshooting
Putty is too stiff to mould
Warm the putty gently between your hands before attempting to mould it. Avoid using excessive force, especially in cold weather.
Putty is not sticking well
Ensure the fishing line is clean and dry before applying the putty. Mould it firmly and ensure good contact with the line.
Putty is coming off during casting
Apply a larger amount of putty or mould it more securely around the line. Ensure the line is not wet or icy, which can reduce adhesion.
Residue left on hands or equipment
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after use. Clean any affected equipment with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent for fine-tuning rig buoyancy.
- Reliable adhesion, stays put during casting.
- Mouldable texture allows for custom shaping.
- Blends well with underwater environments.
- Durable and long-lasting.
Cons
- Can be slightly stiff in very cold weather.
- May leave a slight residue on hands if not washed off.
- The 20g size might be limiting for very heavy-duty applications requiring more weight.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use, simply take a small piece of the tungsten putty and warm it slightly in your hands to make it more pliable. Mould it firmly around your chosen point on the fishing line or hook link. Ensure it is secured sufficiently for your casting needs.
Compatibility: This putty is compatible with all types of monofilament and braided fishing lines. It is suitable for use with various carp fishing rigs, including pop-up rigs, chod rigs, and leadcore leaders. Its effectiveness is maintained across different water temperatures.
Care: Store the tungsten putty in its original packaging or a small, airtight container to prevent it from drying out or picking up debris. After use, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to remove any residue. Clean any tools or surfaces that have come into contact with the putty.
