Rig putty is a versatile tool used in carp fishing to adjust bait presentation, balance rigs, and improve hook-up rates. Here are the key scenarios where it's particularly useful:
 
Critically Balancing Hookbaits
Use rig putty to sink pop-ups or wafters to the perfect balance, ensuring they behave naturally on the lakebed.
 
Improving Hooking Potential
Attach putty to the hook or hooklink to adjust the angle and position, helping the hook land correctly for better hook-ups.
 
Sinking the Hooklink
Apply putty to help the rig sink naturally in weedy, silty, or snaggy areas, ensuring the bait settles correctly.
 
Preventing Tangles
Add putty to the rig to reduce movement and help prevent tangling, especially on rigs with longer hooklinks like the Ronnie rig.
 
Fishing with Pop-Up Rigs
Adjust the buoyancy of pop-ups to achieve the desired presentation, keeping the bait at the right height or sinking slowly.
 
Adjusting to Water Conditions
Modify your rig to suit different water conditions (e.g., turbid or fast-moving water), ensuring better presentation and stability.
 
7. Preventing the Hook from Overturning
Use putty to ensure the hook sits at the correct angle, especially on rigs like the D-rig or Blowback rig, improving hooking efficiency.
 
Rig putty is a simple, effective way to enhance your rig's performance, achieve natural bait presentation, and increase your chances of landing carp.
