Quick take
Removable split shot sinkers made from environmentally safe alloys, crimp on line and pinch to remove.
This South Bend removable split shot is a non-lead option for adding weight to a line without lead. Each sinker crimps onto the line and opens at its ears, so it can be moved or taken off without cutting the line. The pack of 16 suits bass and walleye setups that call for a size 4 shot.
Best for
