These are some heavy weights. (Orange tin) I use them when I toss a bounce rig on the rod.

Sinkers!

This is a great pack of sinkers for your nymphing rig or if you wanted to add a little extra weight to a small streamer. I love the idea of having several different sizes on hand, but i feel like i always run out of No. 2 then No. 4. Maybe i just need to mix up my weight more and fish new water, great product in a durable case.

I like to use the yellow tins for finer adjustments (5X to 7X) for nymphing, and the orange tins for bigger adjustments (1X to 4X). They go on easy and come off easy. Great split shot.

Good if You Need Heavier Weight

Bought this pack by mistake as I was looking for the lower weight split shot pack found here https://www.backcountry.com/angler-s-accessories-6-way-mini-split-shot-assorted-lead. I find that I often need smaller weights and really have only utilized the smallest weight from this pack when fishing. Will be purchasing the 6 way mini shot next time for more lower weight options!

Nice selection of sizes to help keep your bugs down low.

Everything you need them to be.

Easy to use. Convenient case. What more do you need.

Clay Puglisi

Nice and heavy.

This split shot is great, it works as it should and is easy to take off the rig when finished fishing.

Just Work

Not a ton to say, but these work and get that fly where it needs to be.

Just OK

Gets your flies down where you need them. Container is labeled so you can easily distinguish between sizes of shot. Be careful opening the container for the first time - if you don't pop the plastic ring out properly and the plastic lid breaks or crack, it could twist open in your pack. Whomp, whomp - personal experience. To cover yourself for any scenario, grab the yellow tin of small yellow shot too!

The fish are on the bottom.

They sink. They stay where you put them on your line. What else could you ask for?

Colin Clancy

Serves its purpose

Works great and gets the job done!

Just don't eat 'em.

These weights attach easily to your line so you can get your flies down to where the fish are eating. My only suggestion would be to attach them with a pair of clamps; I can't really recommend nibbling on lead weights all day.

Jeff Sorenson

Good

Can't really nymph without them. The container they come in isn't the best.

Husband says, "the shot is fine, it’s just your usual lead that does its job of weighing down the line quite well. I gave this item 3 stars because the packaging is a bit of a PITA. Breaking off the ring so you can rotate the lid isn’t easy and once it’s off, I’ve had the lid rotate open in my bag, spilling shot. Would like Backcountry to carry more options."

Much needed item for any fly fisherman. Make sure your nymphs or streamers get down quickly to where those fish are hanging out.

A good assortment of split shot. Size up to the orange tin.

For anyone that enjoys nymphing, split shot is a must have. I like this brand because they make it easy to put on/take off, have a quality container, and offer a good spread of weight in the same tin. For the price, you can't go wrong.

These are an excellent set of weights for the avid nympher. To get streamers down, size up to the bigger selection!

Buy the orange tin

Lead isn't the greatest, but these are convenient and cheap, so as long as you clean up after yourself I don't see much harm in using these. Personally I use lead on faster, larger rivers so the orange tin with the larger weights makes more sense for me. If you are fishing slow moving tailwaters it may make sense to have the yellow tin with the smaller weights.
