I switched from lead shot to Dinsmores Stealth Egg Split Shot after my state banned lead. The weight is consistent and the polymer design doesn’t damage my leader. It’s reliable in cold water and works well with my fly setup. No issues so far.

The split shot feels solid and stays in place during casting. I noticed less leader wear compared to lead shot. It’s a bit more expensive, but worth it for compliance and safety.
