Quick take
Soft lead split shot in nine sizes from 1/80 oz to 1/4 oz, removable by pressing the clip for adjustable weight.
This is a 100-piece pack of oval lead split shot in the tiny #BB size, a fine-tuning weight for light freshwater rigs. Each shot pinches onto the line by hand and comes off again by pressing its duckbill tab, so you can add or remove weight on the water without tools. It suits bass and other freshwater anglers who want to nudge a lure's depth or settle its drift in current.
