Do-It Split Shot Mold 1/4, 3/8oz 15 cavity

If you tie your own lures or need a reliable supply of split shot sinkers, the Do-It Split Shot Mold 15 cavity lets you cast your own in 1/4 and 3/8 oz weights. Rather than buying pre-made sinkers in bulk, this two-cavity mold gives you the flexibility to produce split shot on demand—useful whether you're a serious tackle builder, a budget-conscious angler who ties frequently, or someone who wants exact weights for specific presentations. The 15-cavity configuration means you can run a decent batch in a single pour.

Split shot sinkers remain one of the most versatile rigging tools in freshwater and light saltwater fishing. Their design—a round pellet with a slot running through the middle—lets you clamp them onto your line with pliers without damaging the line itself. Once seated on the line, they stay put until you need to reposition or remove them. Whether you're adjusting depth on a nymph rig, balancing a float, or fine-tuning the sink rate of a live-bait setup, split shot gives you micro-adjustments that heavier sinkers can't match.

Casting your own sinkers saves money over time and eliminates the frustration of running out of a specific weight mid-season. This mold covers the two most popular split shot sizes—1/4 and 3/8 oz—so you can stock both without needing multiple molds. You'll need standard lead or lead-free casting equipment and furnace, but the process is straightforward if you've cast other terminal tackle before.

Frequently Asked Questions

What weights does this mold produce?

This mold casts split shot in two weights: 1/4 oz and 3/8 oz. Both cavities are included in the same 15-cavity mold.

How many sinkers can I cast at once?

The mold has 15 cavities total, so you can produce 15 split shot per pour (a mix of the two weights, depending on how many cavities of each size you fill).

What do I need to cast these sinkers?

You'll need a furnace or melting pot, casting ladle, and either lead or lead-free sinker material. Standard sinker-casting equipment works with this mold.

Why cast my own split shot instead of buying pre-made?

Casting your own lets you maintain a stock of the exact weights you use most, save money on high-volume rigging, and avoid running out of critical sizes during the season. It's especially practical if you tie a lot of nymphs, float rigs, or live-bait setups.
