Anglers who need a large stock of very small, precise split shot for finesse rigs, live bait presentations, or fly leader tuning, where individual pieces at 1/50 ounce each let you fine-tune weight in small increments.
Skip if
Skip this if you want a general-purpose bottom or feeder sinker, since these are tiny #3/0 split shot pieces, or if the 4.3-star rating and slower current sales pace give you pause compared to the higher-rated options in this set.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Dr.Fish DFTWoB3#100 ships 100 tin split shot sinkers at size #3/0, each roughly 1/50 ounce, for a combined pack weight of 0.06 kilograms and a price of $19.99. Divided across 100 pieces, that comes out to about 20 cents per sinker, which is actually cheaper per unit than the THKFISH 28-pack at roughly 46 cents each, even though the total price tag here is higher. The silver finish and small, uniform size point to a use case built around finesse rigging or precise weight adjustments rather than bulk bottom fishing.
At 4.3 stars across 358 reviews, this is the lowest average rating among the sinkers compared here, trailing the 4.5-to-4.7 range held by the THKFISH, Lindy, Reaction, Carp feeder, and unnamed tungsten listings. The review count of 358 is a moderate sample, more than the Carp feeder set's 274 but well short of the 1,500-plus counts on the top two listings.
More notable is the reported monthly sales figure of 0-plus, the weakest demand signal in this entire comparison, where every other product reports at least 50-plus units sold in the same period. That does not necessarily reflect product quality, since split shot in this exact size may simply serve a narrower niche, but it is a clear gap in recent buying momentum worth weighing against the price.
Pros
- 100 pieces for $19.99 works out to about 20 cents per sinker, cheaper per unit than the THKFISH 28-pack
- Small, uniform #3/0 size at 1/50 ounce each suits precise finesse-rig weight adjustments
- Tin construction offers a corrosion-resistant alternative to lead or iron
- Silver finish and consistent sizing make it easy to count out exact weight increments
- 358 reviews is a moderate, established sample size, ahead of the Carp feeder set's 274
Cons
- 4.3-star average is the lowest rating among the sinkers compared here
- Reported 0-plus units sold monthly is the weakest current demand signal in this set
- $19.99 is the highest price point in this comparison alongside the Reaction 4C-9ONO-GPGV
- Tiny 1/50-ounce pieces aren't suited to bottom fishing or heavier feeder rigs
- 358 reviews trails the 1,000-plus counts on the THKFISH, Lindy, and Reaction listings

Performance notes
Each piece in this pack works out to roughly 1/50 ounce, or about 0.6 grams, based on the 0.06-kilogram total spread across 100 units. That is a very small increment, closer to split shot used for finesse presentations, live bait rigs, or fine-tuning a fly leader's sink rate than to a standard bottom sinker. Tin as a material sinks reliably and resists corrosion, though it does not carry the density of tungsten used in the Reaction 4C-9ONO-GPGV at a comparable size. The size number 3/0 refers to a standard split shot sizing scale, and having 100 identical pieces on hand lets an angler build up or adjust total weight in small, repeatable steps rather than swapping to a different single sinker each time. This is a specialized tool for precision rather than a general bottom or feeder weight.
What buyers say
A 4.3-star average across 358 reviews is workable but sits below every other sinker in this comparison, where ratings otherwise run from 4.5 to 4.7. The review count itself is a reasonable middle-tier sample, ahead of the Carp feeder set's 274 reviews but far behind the 1,000-plus totals on the top listings. What stands out most is the 0-plus monthly sales figure, the only listing in this set without a reported 50-plus or higher recent sales pace. Read together, the pattern suggests a product with an established but smaller base of past buyers and comparatively slower current turnover, which is worth factoring in alongside the lower rating when weighing it against the other options here.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a #3/0 split shot sinker?
Size #3/0 in this listing works out to about 1/50 ounce, or roughly 0.6 grams, per piece based on the stated 0.06-kilogram total across 100 pieces. That is a small, precise weight used for finesse rigging rather than bottom fishing.
Is tin a good material for split shot sinkers?
Tin sinks reliably and resists corrosion, making it a durable alternative to lead. It does not match tungsten's density at a given size, so pieces of the same weight will generally be larger than a tungsten equivalent.
Why does this listing show 0-plus units sold last month?
That figure reflects reported recent sales activity and is the lowest among the sinkers compared here, where the rest report 50-plus or more. It suggests slower current demand, though the 358 existing reviews show an established buyer history.
