Split shot sinkers are small, versatile weights that are great for fine-tuning your rig without overpowering your presentation. They work best in situations where you need subtle weight adjustments, such as fishing in shallow water, targeting finicky fish, or drifting baits naturally in slow-moving currents. Anglers commonly use them for finesse techniques in bass fishing, fly fishing for trout, or live bait fishing for panfish. Their pinch-on design makes them easy to add or remove, allowing for quick weight modifications based on conditions. Are you looking to use them for a specific species or fishing style? I can help refine your approach.
