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 sinkers get pinched onto the line rather than tied on, and losing a few to a bad crimp or a snapped line is routine, which is why buying in bulk makes sense for this style of weight. This listing delivers 120 pieces in various sizes for $6.99, working out to under 6 cents per piece, among the cheapest options in this category.
That price undercuts every other sinker in this comparison on a per-unit basis, including the 100-piece round opening set at $4.39, which runs closer to 4 cents per piece but in a single format rather than split shot style. Against the pricier Lindy and Reaction sinkers, this bag is clearly built for volume and low cost rather than premium materials or finish.
The rating tells a more mixed story. At 3.8 stars across 51 reviews, this is the lowest average of any sinker in this set, a full point below the 4.7-star options and half a point below the others. Despite that, 400+ bought last month is the second-highest demand figure here, behind only the Egg sinker's 600+, suggesting the low price is driving volume even where satisfaction is more mixed.
Pros
- 120 pieces for $6.99, working out to under 6 cents per sinker
- 400+ bought last month, the second-highest demand figure in this comparison
- Various sizes included, giving flexibility across different rig weights
- Split shot style is quick to attach and remove without retying line
- Low price point makes it a low-risk bulk buy for casual or backup use
Cons

- 51 reviews is a modest sample, and the rating trails competitors with both larger and smaller review counts
- Listing doesn't specify individual weight sizes within the various-size assortment
- Material is listed simply as sinker without a clear lead or alloy specification
- No color options beyond the silver finish listed

Performance notes
Split shot sinkers pinch directly onto the line, which makes rigging faster than tying on a traditional sliding sinker, especially useful when adjusting weight repeatedly during a session. With various sizes bundled into a single 120-piece bag, anglers get flexibility to size up or down as depth or current changes without needing to buy separate packages. The tradeoff with pinch-on weights is that a bad crimp can slip or damage the line over repeated use, which may explain part of the rating gap against the other sinkers in this comparison, all of which use tie-on or slide designs rather than a pinch mechanism. At under 6 cents per piece, though, the volume here makes it easy to replace any split shot that underperforms without much financial loss.
What buyers say
A 3.8-star average across 51 reviews is the softest rating of any sinker in this comparison, sitting below the 4.5 to 4.7 range held by the other four listings. That gap is worth noting for buyers weighing consistency. At the same time, 400+ bought last month is the second-highest demand number in this set, trailing only the Egg sinker bag's 600+, which suggests the combination of low price and bulk quantity is winning out over rating concerns for many buyers. That pattern, softer satisfaction paired with strong purchase volume, points to a product bought primarily for value and convenience rather than premium quality expectations.
