I was wondering if anyone uses putty weight?
Was thinking of going with split shots, but someone mentioned that I
may
want to try putty weight.
Says he's never used it before, thought I better ask someone first
before I
purchase.

I've used it, it works has stated but I've had problems with it
slipping down the leader or working off. When I know I'm going to need
weight I just as soon use split shots and use the putty to augment it.
