Eagle Claw Sinker Round Split Shot 12pk/11ct Size 3

Eagle Claw split shot sinkers in size 3 are a workhorse for light tackle fishing where you need to dial in depth and drift without weighing down your line. This 12-pack contains 11 pieces of round split shot—reliable, affordable weight for freshwater and light saltwater applications. Whether you're nymphing a stream, suspending bait under a bobber, or adjusting your presentation on the fly, these pinch-on sinkers let you make quick changes without retying. Eagle Claw's split shot has held its reputation for decades among anglers who value consistency and simplicity.

Size 3 split shot occupies a middle ground in the split shot spectrum—heavy enough to reach moderate depths and control line drift, but light enough for sensitive presentations with smaller rigs. Anglers typically use this size when fishing moving water, adjusting weight distribution mid-cast, or adding subtle depth control to nymphs and small lures. The round design rolls easily onto your line and pinches down securely, then removes cleanly without damaging the line if you need to drop down to a lighter size or switch tactics.

Stock a few packs in your tackle box or vest. At this size and count, you'll have enough to experiment and adjust through a full day on the water without overthinking inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fishing applications are size 3 split shot best for?

Size 3 split shot works well for moderate-depth freshwater and light saltwater fishing—nymphing, bobber rigs, adjusting lure depth, and drift control in moving water. It's heavy enough to reach 10–20 feet in calm conditions but light enough for presentations that demand sensitivity.

How do I use split shot sinkers?

Pinch the split shot gently onto your line where you need weight, typically 12–24 inches above your lure, bait, or nymph. Pinch evenly to avoid line damage, and remove by reversing the process—no knot required, so you can adjust quickly on the water.

Can I use these for saltwater fishing?

Yes, Eagle Claw split shot can be used in light saltwater applications, though saltwater anglers often step up to larger sizes or choose specialized saltwater sinkers for heavier conditions and corrosion resistance.
