Quick take
Hand-poured 3/8 oz drop shot weights for vertical presentations under docks and structure.
Each weight in this 3/8 oz pack of ten is hand poured from lead in a drop shape, for rigging a drop shot. The 3/8 oz size gives more bottom contact than the lighter finesse weights when a drop shot needs to hold in place.
Best for
- Suspending finesse rigs below floats or stationary structures
- Freshwater and saltwater drop shot fishing
- Anglers working shallow cover
Skip if
- You need compact weights; standard drop shot weights are smaller
- You prefer tungsten for sensitivity
Strengths
- 3/8 oz suits mid-depth presentations
- Standard drop shot weight design threads line easily
Trade-offs
- Lead is less dense than tungsten; weights are bulkier for the same mass
- Hand-poured finishes may vary slightly between weights
- Lead is heavier for the environment than alternatives
Fishing fit
