Popular and versatile, Jarvis Walker Split Shot Sinkers are useful when fishing in streams or estuaries. These sinkers have a handy round design with a split in one side for line. Simply position the line in the slot and squeeze the sinker with pliers - the split will close tight and fix the sinker in that position. You can attach or remove several split shot sinkers to achieve the desired weight as conditions change. Many anglers also use them when float fishing to balance their floats and hold the bait down where the fish are.
