The split shot is a small spherical piece of metal which is cut part way through the diameter and is used in angling to add weight to the fishing line to set your float, (sink the float so that only part of the float shows above the water).

Split shot weights are small, round lead or non-toxic weights that can be easily pinched onto the fishing line. They are versatile and commonly used for adjusting the weight and depth of the bait or lure. Split shots are available in various sizes, allowing anglers to add or remove them to achieve the desired sinking rate and fishing depth.

A split shot rig (also known as mojo rig) is a finesse fishing setup that’s primarily used for bass fishing with soft plastics, and is particularly effective for targeting pressured bass or finicky biters. However, the split shot also works well for anglers targeting other fish species, including trout, crappie, walleye, and perch.

Split shot weights are a versatile and essential tool for anglers, used for adjusting the weight of the fishing line and achieving the desired depth or casting distance. These weights are made from non-toxic materials like tin or lead-free alloys, making them safe for the environment and for use with live bait.
