The most skilled and accomplished artists and craftsmen take pride in the quality of the tools they use to create beautiful works of art. They know that these tools are extensions of themselves and allow the tradesman a level of detail and proficiency that's unmatched when compared to an inferior device. There is always the right tool for a specific job. When on the water, it's our job to enjoy every single minute we are given and every interaction with our angling tools of the trade. We are placing our confidence in the performance and usefulness of the things we carry streamside. Do yourself a favor and get the right tool for the job, so when the time comes you aren't trying to make due with inferior solutions to basic angling problems. After all, your dentist and teeth will appreciate you using nippers or scissor forceps to cut your fishing line; you'll look a lot better in that photo of the fish you spent days or a lifetime trying to catch without having a chipped tooth or line cuts from too many years sitting on the bank chomping on line.

Due to its incredible content of tungsten, its weight is comparable to lead, but completely safe and non-toxic. As it warms up it becomes softer. As it cools down it reverts back to its original hardness. Once it has softened to the consistency of chewing gum mold it around your line to your required shape. Immerse fishing line weight in water for ten seconds for the putty to cure and harden before casting. 25g per tub.
