kwik change or putty?

[Osprey]

Hey guys,which would you say is best for weighing down a pop up,putty or kwik change weights,i heard putty can move on the cast and if you use kwik change how big a boilie will a bb hold a swan hold and so on,any help appreciated!!

[Tom]

I must admit, i prefer putty however in the worst of winter i tend to use a split shot as i find some puttys can become reall brittle and fall off. However, the flexibility of putty is good as you can add/remove as neccessary. I did try the Solar Depth Charges but found them awkward to fit and resulted in several hooks stuck in my fingers

[Osprey]

ouch! to hooks in fingers,so putty is probably best but the split shot can cause weak spots can't it? or is this a myth?

[Tom]

Its true, split-shot can cause a weak spot but this is normally down to them being squashed on too tightly, there is another option, have a slightly longer hair and put the split-shot on the hair behind the boilie, thats what i tend to do a lot more now

as in a kd rig?? i've been considering this just waitin for bait floss to arrive!

[Tom]

its not a bad way to do it, especially if you have concern over the shot causing damage to your hooklink

[krafty]

kordas sinkers are brilliant, they are made of tungsten and weigh a pop up down just right, they never come off as you slide them onto the hooklink! better than putty or split shot imo

i rate them highly

[Tom]

They are a bit of a variant of Solar Depth-Charges. Thing is i'd expect the sinkers are a bit easier to attach

i've always preferred kryston heavy metal plus myself
