About Thinking Anglers Tungsten Droppers
Thinking Anglers Tungsten Droppers are a simple yet highly effective way to keep your hooklink pinned tight to the lakebed for maximum stealth. Made from high-density tungsten, these compact weights slide easily onto your hooklink or mainline, holding everything low and discreet in the water.
Perfect for fine-tuning rig balance or adding extra downforce in critical spots, they help improve presentation and reduce the chances of spooking wary fish. Durable, easy to use, and unobtrusive, Tungsten Droppers are an essential tool for any angler looking to optimise their setup.
Review – OMC Blend Putty
I’ve tried plenty of tungsten putties over the years, and I can honestly say this is some of the best I’ve used. The OMC Blend Putty has just the right consistency — it’s easy to mould into place, stays put on the line, and crucially, it doesn’t go sticky like some other brands, even in hot conditions.
Its density means you don’t need to use much to get the desired effect, and the natural colour tones blend in nicely with most lakebeds. Whether I’m pinning down a section of hooklink or perfectly counterbalancing a pop-up, it does the job every time.
This is one of those bits of tackle that you quickly come to rely on — because when something works this well, you just don’t look elsewhere.
Overall
A high-quality tungsten putty that’s easy to use, holds well, and doesn’t get sticky like other brands. Perfect for rig tuning and stealthy presentation.
