NASH Cling-On Tungsten Putty

Product advantages

Designed for demanding carp anglers, the Cling-On Tungsten Putty by NASH is a high-density tungsten putty that lets you precisely weight your rigs without adding bulky components. Thanks to its ultra-adhesive formula, it adheres firmly to a wide range of hooklink materials and stays in place, even during powerful casts or prolonged fights.

Ideal for optimizing the discreet presentation of baits, this weighted putty helps keep hooklinks, hooks, leaders and tubings pinned to the lakebed, reducing the chance of detection by wary fish. Its malleable texture enables very fine weight adjustments to balance a floating bait or to tune a rig’s sink rate.

Technical specifications

• Tungsten-based weighted putty for maximum density in a compact volume.
• High-adhesion formula for long-lasting hold on many rig materials.
• Soft, malleable texture that is easy to shape even in relatively cool conditions.
• Designed to pin hooklinks, hooks, leaders and tubings close to the bottom.
• Suitable for bottom rigs, balanced rigs and pop-up style setups.
• Available in different variants to blend with a variety of lakebeds.
• Recommended for carp fishing and wary freshwater species.

Benefits and strengths

The strength of Cling-On Tungsten Putty lies in its unique combination of density and adhesion. Where other weighted pastes may slide or shift over successive casts, this solution stays put, allowing you to maintain a stable and consistent rig throughout the session. This significantly reduces the risk of your hooklink lifting from the bottom or your bait behaving unpredictably.

Its high pliability gives you total freedom in how to apply it: a small discreet pellet positioned near the hook, a cylinder along the hooklink, or gradual additions to fine-tune bait balance. This versatility makes it a valuable tool to adapt your presentation to current conditions, whether facing picky fish, uneven lakebeds or heavily fished spots.

By improving the discreetness of the rig and keeping every element pinned to the bottom, this putty helps minimize tangles and missed takes. It integrates perfectly with modern rigs, whether rigid, coated or fluorocarbon, and maintains a clean profile that inspires confidence in fish.

Usage tips

To get the best results from this tungsten putty for carp rigs, start by taking a small amount of product and warming it between your fingers to make it more pliable. Once soft, shape it around the part of the rig you wish to weight, taking care not to cover critical knots or impede hook mobility.

It is recommended to proceed in stages: apply a thin layer first, test the rig’s buoyancy in a bucket or at the bank, then adjust weight as needed. This gradual approach allows you to achieve very precise bait balancing, especially with floating or balanced baits.

After each handling, ensure the putty surface is smooth and pressed firmly onto the substrate to maximize adhesion. Avoid contaminating it with soil, gravel or debris, which can reduce its stickiness. Store the product in its box or in a watertight compartment of your tackle box to preserve its texture between sessions.

FAQ

Question 1: Will the tungsten putty come off during powerful casts or in cold weather?

Answer: Thanks to its high-adhesion formula, this putty is designed to remain in place on most hooklink materials, even during powerful casts. In cold weather, it is recommended to warm it briefly between your fingers before application to restore a more pliable texture, then press it well around the support to ensure optimal hold.
