Oval split-shot weights with rubber tube sleeves for secure line pinching.
This is a small silver oval rubber-tube accessory from Daiichi Seiko, an Osaka tackle maker, made in Japan. It comes in a size 15 and weighs about 0.14 kilograms packaged. Anglers who rig light split-shot style setups may find it a handy extra to keep in the tackle box.
