Check price on AmazonBest for
Drop shot anglers who need a light 1/4oz weight in bulk and want a rating backed by a large review base. Good for anyone who loses weights often and wants a big pack rather than restocking every few trips.
Skip if
Skip this if you need heavier weights for deep or fast water, since 1/4oz is a light, finesse-oriented size. Anglers wanting an assorted multi-size box like the Zidan QZ should also look elsewhere.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Drop shot fishing chews through light sinkers fast, especially working rocky or grassy bottom where a 1/4oz weight snags more than it should. The Reaction RT-US-14LDS-BK set answers that with a 25-pack of black lead drop shot weights at 1/4oz each, priced at $13.98, giving anglers a deep enough supply to fish through a full session of hang-ups.
That works out to roughly $0.56 per weight, cheaper per piece than several of the smaller packs in this comparison, including the $5.39 four-piece Disc coin-sinker set. Lead keeps the cost down while the black finish is a small nod to line concealment, a detail more common in drop shot weights than in generic bottom sinkers like the Zidan QZ assortment or the Disc coin-sinker sets.
At 1,900 reviews, this listing has the largest review base of any sinker compared here, nearly double the next-largest at 1,500. The 4.7-star rating matches the other top-rated packs in this group despite the much bigger sample, and 300+ bought last month places it well ahead of the 50 to 100+ pace of the smaller listings, second only to the Pyramid R1-P0RK-62BH's 1,000+ figure among everything compared here.
Pros
- 4.7-star rating across 1,900 reviews, the largest review sample in this comparison
- 25 pieces at $13.98 works out to about $0.56 per weight
- 300+ bought last month shows strong ongoing demand
- Black finish suited to drop shot rigs where line concealment matters
- 1/4oz size is a common, versatile drop shot weight
Cons
- Fixed at 1/4oz only, with no heavier option in this listing
- Lead construction rather than tungsten, which packs more density per size
- At $13.98, it costs more upfront than the smaller Disc packs, even if per-piece pricing is competitive
- Not suited to anglers needing a size assortment rather than a single weight

Performance notes
A 1/4oz weight is on the lighter end of the sinker spectrum, the kind of size drop shot anglers reach for in calmer water or when trying to keep a subtler presentation near bottom. Lead construction keeps this pack affordable at $13.98 for 25 pieces, and the black coloring is a practical touch for drop shot rigs, where a bright metallic weight can be more noticeable in clear water than a dark one. With 25 pieces in the pack, there's enough volume to fish through a full session of snags without needing a refill, which matters more for drop shot technique than for straightforward bottom rigs since drop shotting tends to be fished in and around structure where hang-ups are common.
What buyers say
With 1,900 reviews, this is the most-reviewed sinker in this comparison, and it still holds a 4.7-star average, matching the rating of two smaller-sample tungsten packs at 1,500 and 341 reviews. That's a meaningful signal since maintaining a top rating gets harder as review volume grows. Bought last month at 300+ is the second-highest figure in this group, trailing only the Pyramid R1-P0RK-62BH's 1,000+, and comfortably ahead of the 50 to 100+ pace on the remaining sinkers. Together, the large review base, high rating, and strong recent purchase volume point to a well-established, repeatedly reordered product.

Frequently asked questions
What size are these sinkers?
Each weight is 1/4oz, packaged 25 to a pack for $13.98, which works out to about $0.56 per weight. They're built from lead with a black finish, a lighter option than the 1oz sinkers found elsewhere in this comparison group.
How does this compare on reviews to other sinkers?
It has 1,900 reviews, the largest sample in this comparison, roughly double the next-largest at 1,500, and still holds a 4.7-star average, matching top-rated packs from Reaction and an unknown-brand tungsten listing that each carry far fewer reviews behind their ratings.
Is this a good choice for drop shot fishing?
Yes, it's labeled as a lead drop shot weight with a black finish for line concealment, and the 1/4oz size is a common weight for that technique, useful for anglers presenting bait subtly near bottom rather than casting heavy weight into current.
