You must use better plumbers putty... LOL... I quit using it. I started using this as a much better temporary option.. https://www.rotometals.com/casting-retainer-putty-1-pound/

I make a similar dropper for deadsticking. I use .031 because I have lots of it.

I have a sprayer with it in it and just spray it and wipe it out. It will just roll up and not stick again. I don’t have an ultra molds pot so don’t know how hard it is to clean that out but it will make it easier if the stuff does not melt down the plastic and restock it to everything again.

Well, I know where you’re coming from and agree that the most essential practical quality of a crankbait is that it catches fish. But craft in a crankbait goes beyond that one quality and it would be impossible to judge all the aspects of a crank from a pic of it hanging out of a fish’s mouth (or better yet stuck deep in its gullet!). The practicalities just don’t make it possible since the judges have to evaluate a range of qualities set out by the contest sponsor that just can’t be captured in a boat pic. But I applaud the sentiment.
