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

Overview
The Removable AMURA900FREE4A04 split shot kit is built around volume. At $13.99 it delivers 4,000 pieces of 0.4g lead sinkers, a count that dwarfs the 6, 8, and 10 piece packs from Lindy, Reaction, and the unbranded tungsten set in this comparison. For anglers who go through split shot fast, whether from snagging bottom or constantly adjusting depth, that per-piece cost is hard to beat.
The tradeoff shows up in the rating. At 4.0 stars across 706 reviews, this is the lowest average of the four sinkers compared here, trailing the 4.5 to 4.7 star range the others hold. The 50+ bought last month figure is also modest next to the 100+ seen on the Lindy and Reaction listings. That gap suggests the lead composition and removable design work fine for most buyers but leave more room for complaints than the tungsten alternatives.
Material matters too. Lead is soft and easy to pinch on and off the line, which is likely why the removable design exists, but it lacks the density advantage tungsten offers at the same size. Anglers choosing between this and the Reaction tungsten 8-pack are really choosing between bulk lead convenience and compact tungsten sensitivity.
Pros
- 4,000 pieces per pack, by far the highest count of any sinker in this comparison
- Priced at $13.99, competitive with 6 to 10 piece packs that cost nearly as much
- 0.4g size suits light finesse and panfish rigging
- Removable design allows quick on-and-off adjustments without cutting line
- In stock with 50+ bought last month showing steady ongoing demand
Cons
- 4.0 star average is the lowest rating among the compared sinkers
- Lead material lacks the density and eco-friendly profile of tungsten options
- Bought last month of 50+ trails the 100+ pace of the Lindy and Reaction listings
- Fixed 0.4g size offers no variety within the pack for different depths
- 706 reviews is a solid sample, but the lower average signals more inconsistency than tungsten rivals

Performance notes
At 0.4g per piece, this split shot is sized for light line and subtle presentations, the kind of weight you add incrementally rather than in bulk. The removable design means each piece can be pinched onto and off the line without retying, useful when adjusting depth on the water. Lead's softness makes that pinch-and-remove action easier than it would be with harder tungsten, though tungsten packs more density into a smaller package. With 4,000 pieces in the kit, running low mid-season is unlikely, which matters most to anglers who fish frequently or lose shot to snags. The 0.2 kilogram total weight of the kit reflects just how many individual pieces are included at this small size.
What buyers say
706 reviews at a 4.0 star average puts this toward the lower end of the sinkers compared here, where the others sit between 4.5 and 4.7 stars. That gap does not mean the product fails at its core job, but it does suggest more buyers had a mixed experience than with the tungsten alternatives. The 50+ bought last month figure shows consistent, if modest, ongoing demand rather than a surge. Given the bulk count and low price point, the review pattern reads as buyers largely satisfied with value but less uniformly impressed than reviewers of smaller, pricier tungsten packs.
