New Egg Shot From Bullet Weights® Inc. Gives “Split-Shotters” Another Option

ALDA, Neb. – Bullet Weights® Inc., one of the largest sinker manufacturers in the United States, is introducing the new Egg Shot lead sinker to offer anglers another option when using a split shot type rig to fish.

“The overall philosophy of Bullet Weights is to have a product line that gives anglers as many options as possible to use techniques that best fit specific fishing situations,” Bullet Weights President Joe Crumrine said. “Split shot sinkers have long been a staple in an angler’s tackle box. The Egg Shot gives that angler another shape option where split shot would be needed. We’ve included the #10 size to our egg shot selection which will make it one of the smallest available shot sinkers on the market.”

The Egg Shot sinker is a symmetrical-designed split shot sinker that crimps onto the fishing line just like the standard split shot. Its “egg shape” allows the sinker to more easily slide through heavy vegetation and rocks, reducing the amount of hang ups.

Bullet Weights’ Egg Shot are available in the following sizes and quantities:
