Check price on AmazonBest for
Anglers who fish light rigs and need small split shot weights on hand in bulk, since 205 pieces for $8.99 works out to a fraction of a cent per piece, ideal for panfish, trout, or finesse presentations that call for tiny adjustments in weight.
Skip if
Skip it if you need heavier bottom or deep-drop weights, since these small split shot pieces total only 0.12 kilograms combined and are meant for fine-tuning line weight, not anchoring bait in strong current or serious depth.

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
Small split shot sinkers are the kind of gear anglers burn through constantly, clamping one on, losing it in a snag, and clamping on another within the same trip. The Joyiii kit answers that consumption pattern directly with 205 pieces for $8.99, all lead, weighing about 0.12 kilograms combined, in a silver finish sized for the small end of the split shot range.
Compared to the other sinkers in this lineup, the piece count here is dramatically higher. The next largest pack, the unbranded 10-piece tungsten set, offers a fraction of the quantity, and even the Reaction 8-pack and Lindy 6-pack are built around fewer, heavier individual weights rather than a large supply of small ones. Joyiii's approach trades individual weight and material quality, since these are lead rather than tungsten, for sheer volume at a lower price point.
The 4.5-star average sits in line with the Lindy CNS120 and just below the tungsten competitors' 4.7 stars, but the 871 review count and 500+ bought last month are both the highest figures in this entire comparison. That combination points to a product with wide, sustained appeal among anglers who need a reliable, low-cost source of small sinkers rather than a specialty or premium weight.
Pros
- 205 pieces for $8.99 is the lowest price and highest count of any sinker in this comparison, at well under a nickel per piece
- 871 reviews is the largest review base among all four sinkers compared here
- 500+ bought last month is the highest demand figure in this comparison group
- 4.5-star average matches the Lindy CNS120 despite a much larger review sample backing it
- Small size and lead material make these easy to crimp on and adjust line weight quickly
- 0.12 kilograms total weight keeps the whole kit light and easy to carry in a tackle box
Cons
- Lead material trails the 4.7-star tungsten alternatives slightly in this comparison's rating pattern
- Small split shot sizing is not suited to bottom fishing or any rig needing serious weight
- No stated piece-by-piece weight breakdown, so matching a precise weight to a specific rig takes some trial and error
- Lead sinkers may face use restrictions in certain states or protected waters

Performance notes
With 205 pieces totaling about 0.12 kilograms, individual pieces here average out to a very small fraction of an ounce each, consistent with split shot sized for fine-tuning presentation weight rather than anchoring a rig. That makes this kit best suited to finesse fishing, where an angler adds or removes a single small piece to adjust how a bait sinks through the water column. Compared to the pound-class or ounce-class sinkers elsewhere in this comparison, these pieces are built for precision rather than raw weight. The silver finish is standard for split shot and has no functional impact beyond basic visibility. Because the pack includes such a high piece count for $8.99, it functions less like a single-purpose sinker and more like a consumable supply meant to be crimped, adjusted, and replaced repeatedly across many fishing trips without needing to reorder often.
What buyers say
The 871 reviews behind this kit are the most of any sinker in this comparison, and the 500+ bought last month figure outpaces every other product here, both signs of a high-volume, frequently repurchased item. A 4.5-star average holding across that large a review base suggests consistent satisfaction rather than a rating propped up by a small, favorable sample. It sits just below the 4.7-star tungsten alternatives, but with roughly six to eight times the review count of the smaller-volume competitors in this group. For a low-cost, high-turnover product like split shot, that combination of scale and steady rating points to broad, repeat trust among buyers rather than niche appeal.

Frequently asked questions
How many sinkers are in the Joyiii kit?
The kit includes 205 individual lead split shot pieces weighing about 0.12 kilograms combined, priced at $8.99, which works out to roughly 4 cents per piece before tax or shipping.
What size fishing is this sinker kit best for?
These are small split shot weights meant for finesse presentations like panfish or trout rigs, not for bottom fishing or deep water, where the heavier tungsten or pound-class sinkers elsewhere in this comparison would be more appropriate.
Does the high review count mean this is the best-rated sinker here?
Not quite. Its 4.5-star average across 871 reviews matches the Lindy CNS120 but trails the 4.7-star ratings on the Reaction and unbranded tungsten sinkers, though it has far more reviews and purchases than either.
