Comments about Redwing Tackle Blackbird Split Shot:

These sinkers are easy to put on the line but hard to remove if you pinch them hard enough so they do not slip. I suggest that you put them on just above a knot so they can't slip down the leader, then pinch them just hard enough so that they will not fall off. This way they can be removed without too much difficulty.

Very good shot. Much heavier and smaller than other types. Stays put very well, but it is a little tough to quickly remove.

Comments about Redwing Tackle Blackbird Split Shot:

This shot is great for shot lines. Heavy shot on top and lighter shot working your way down the shot line. When troting your float it keeps your fly bait or jig ahead of your float. Giving it a natural drift for Steelhead. Also it does not twist line due to its roundness. GREAT PRODUCT.
