Need rig feedback

[Juan pablo]

Hey yall, thanks in advance

Here's my problem, recently it's been very windy so the waters have been quiet rough. well after an hour i noticed my dark matter putty was gone from all 3 of my rigs. Fortunately i had a few dropshots, and after my session I still lost one. I'm on disabilitity money is tight and i can't be buying that expensive putty all the time, or at all it was a bday gift among other items. Thinking it through, I came up with this idea to shrinkwrap dropshots so I wont lose them again. I"m still learning about carp fishing, I use boilies mainly. Can this work ? if there's anythinmg i can do to make them work or jsut completely forget about this idea thanks again

There's plenty of alternatives to putty and yours looks like an acceptable solution, but I'd be asking why it's disappearing in the first place. Are you fishing rivers with big flow? Wind on a lake shouldn't be enough to remove putty. Are there crayfish in the waters you fish?

I've pretty much given up rig putty. I've lost too much and it doesn't seem to keep it's shape. I've been using ESP tungsten balance beads for quite a few years and can't see myself ever going back. The photo is a Flipper rig (the bottom bit of shrink tube pushes to the bend of the hook) and my bait has been nibbled away by roach or bream but the bead is on a Combi rig and pushes into the knot and pretty much stays there.

Its dead easy to reuse it as well, just push it onto a small baiting needle.

If crays are in the water then Stay away from tungsten

I stay in North Texas, some people refer it the beginning of tornado alley there's days. So it can be rough
