Firstly I have found the OMC the best I've used - but without being too over dramatic, the way I see and used to use putty it's quite a big deal. I like many others have fished ineffectively for hours due to rubbish putty.

I use shot from USA and if I want it critically balanced will trim down pop up not add more putty.

If I want it just as a dropper (wafter bottom) I wrap lead wire with putty (omc) and if this moves and comes adrift the rig still fishes ok.

For me there isn't a single putty out there that I would use to solely balance a bait, there is a chance it will fail and I don't want to be fishing a 12” stiff combi zig!

Have you seen the ‘dog bone' sinkers, also from OMC? Shaped so that the putty grips, might suit your putty paranoia? I haven't used them but it's a simple and probably effective solution.

I pretty much use Ronnie rigs all the time now and instead of using putty cos im a complete duffer at putting it on, i use nash tungsten swivel knot beads.

The ESP ronnie clips and supplied tungsten beads are superb too

Never had a problem with Bank Tackle putty. Reasonably priced as well.
