108 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
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
Split shot is one of those items anglers go through fast, and this 100-piece bag keeps the per-unit cost low at roughly 8 cents each. The lead construction is standard for this style of sinker, and the metallic finish is typical of clip-on shot rather than the painted or tungsten options found in heavier rigs.
At 0.02 kilograms total weight for the whole 100-piece bag, these are clearly sized for light line and small presentations, not for punching through current or holding bottom in a strong saltwater drift. That tracks with the removable clip-on design, which is built around quick adjustment rather than a permanent crimp.
Compared to the alternatives in this category, the Lindy CNS120 at $12.99 and the Reaction tungsten set at $19.99 both cost more per unit but come in fewer pieces aimed at specific ounce sizes. This product trades precision for volume and price, which fits its 4.2-star average across 108 reviews, a solid if unspectacular showing for a low-cost bulk item.

Performance notes
The listed weight of 0.02 kilograms for the entire 100-piece bag confirms these are small, light-duty split shot meant for fine-tuning depth on light line rather than anchoring a bait in current. The metallic color and clip-on design point to a traditional round split shot shape, the kind anglers pinch or clip onto the line just above a fly or small hook. Because there is no per-piece ounce breakdown in the spec sheet, buyers comparing this to ounce-labeled tungsten or lead options will need to estimate based on the total pack weight. For fly fishing or panfish rigs where anglers add small increments of weight, that kind of imprecision matters less than it would on a heavier saltwater bottom rig.
What buyers say
A 4.2-star average across 108 reviews sits below the 4.5 to 4.7 range posted by the three alternatives listed, all of which have review counts in the hundreds or thousands. That gap suggests a generally positive but slightly less consistent experience, which is common with ultra-low-cost bulk tackle where quality control varies more than on branded products. The 50+ bought last month figure indicates ongoing, steady demand rather than a spike, consistent with a staple item anglers restock regularly rather than a seasonal impulse buy.

Frequently asked questions
How much does each sinker weigh in this 100-piece pack?
The listing does not break down individual piece weight, only the total pack weight of 0.02 kilograms. Buyers who need a specific ounce size per sinker should check listings that state per-piece weight, like the Reaction or Lindy options.
Is this pack better value than the Lindy CNS120 at $12.99?
On raw piece count, yes, this pack gives 100 sinkers for $7.99 versus 6 sinkers for $12.99 with Lindy. But Lindy's 4.5-star rating across 1,074 reviews reflects a more tested, size-specific product for anglers who need a known ounce weight.
Are these suited to saltwater fishing?
The lead material and light total weight of 0.02 kilograms for the full bag suggest these are built more for freshwater and fly rigs than for the heavier weights typically needed in saltwater current and depth.
