Split Shot Weights

Split Shot Weights: indispensable for precise weighting

Split Shot Weights are small but crucial parts of your fishing gear. They are mainly used when fishing with a float or with light pole rigs. Due to their compact size and easy attachment, they are ideal for perfectly adjusting your weighting and presenting your bait at the right depth.

What are split shot weights?

Split Shot Weights are round weights with a notch, allowing you to easily pinch them onto your line. They come in various weights, from a fraction of a gram to several grams, so you can always find the right balance for your float. Correctly weighting your float ensures optimal bite detection – a must for those fishing for whitefish or Predator Fish with fine rigs.

When do you use split shot weights?

• Float fishing: Adjust your float precisely so it stands upright and every bite is clearly visible.

• Pole fishing: For subtle bait presentation and control over sinking speed.

• Feeder rigs or pole rod: For balancing light rigs in still or slow-flowing water.

Soft split shot weight for better grip

Soft split shot weights have the advantage that they stay well on the line without damaging it. They are easy to rearrange or remove, making them ideal for anglers who regularly adjust their rig. Make sure you always have a range of weights on hand to switch quickly.
