Olivier who runs the Passion Lake in France has his own tackle range under the name of LCA Tackle. Some of you may have seen him at the Brentwood show. His putty is absolutely superb on mono and braid.

Check out his "Gom" item too for hooks. Very good.

I take my last post back...after recieving some more deception putty in the post I set to making some rigs and 'tank testing' some rogs to see how long wafters/pop ups would work for. After taking the rigs out I found the putty had gone to mush and had litrally fallen off the rig.
I am now reading this thread to decide on my new putty choice.

I've tried a few since my last bit of Kryston was running low.


I recently bought the Nash and Kryston and they turned up this week and it's gotta be Kryston I don't think it's changed.

The Nash is no better than the Gardner one which is just a sticky mess at the bottom of a tin, I mixed the Gardner one with a cheap harder one of the bay and that's reasonable.

Mixed the Nash with the Kryston that's ok

Ordered two more Kryston.

Hi. Yes they did make their own putty and im pretty sure hoooklength materials in house. Remember an article in CW years ago doing a 'behind the scenes at Kryston'.Dave and co invested a lot of money in developing bespoke tooling and equipment for the manufacture of Putty and things like Snakeskin/Mantis etc/. I believe their putty had the highest density of Tungsten of all the rig puttys on the market WHEN INTRODUCED... guessing thats probably changed now?

I'm using the nash putty and it's ok but nothing special. Nash did a liquid tungsten, that I really liked but the bottle went off very quick so not really cost effective

A video was around prior to The Taska take over where Kryston went through the history of the business quiet interesting.

Supposedly the carrier in the Heavier Metal has to be changed due to EU regulations.
