Tungsten Putty

[peter mccue]

Yeah, I have used them all - and then some! But what I am looking for is something with which I can make minute adjustments in seconds. When I was spinning on the Upper Ouse I frequently had to alter the weight of my Ondex from swim to swim. The same thing can be necessary in the ocean here, you have to fish a lure correctly at the correct depth if you want to catch the fish you are targeting.

 

The standard Carpers heavy metal works very well Chevin, & would fit the bill a treat. All you would need to do is add an extra swivel above the spoon to carry the putty, it holds onto swivels very well indeed & stands repeated casting. I have used it in the circumstances you described & rarely had a problem, no matter how cold it gets it always remains easy to pinch small amounts off to get the balance you want. Also all you need to do is ensure the putty is well dried & you can add weight just as easily.
