It took a series of samples which were tweaked and improved until it was just right. ESP Tungsten Putty provides all the key elements that make an excellent rig putty suitable for various applications.
Optimum density means just the right amount can be moulded around a swivel or hook link to provide efficient rig mechanics for balancing pop ups on a variety of presentations. The putty’s adhesive properties ensure it stays in place on the cast and during use and it hardens slightly in water ensuring excellent durability. The inherent elasticity makes the putty easy to mould and with any relatively hard putty it becomes more malleable as it is warmed in the hands or this process can be aided in cold conditions with heat from a lighter or warm surface.
For best results, pinch a small amount of putty off and mould and stretch to improve malleability and adhesion. Once moulded around a swivel or hook link, small amounts can carefully be trimmed off with scissors to achieve critically balanced rig presentations.
Available in weedy green, camo brown and choddy silt so the putty can be matched to the lake bed or the different colours can be moulded together to create a multi camouflage putty. Supplied in handy little ‘tackle box friendly’ screw top jars containing 25g of putty.
