Hope it helps

This might be a little simpler for folk like myself, who just want to throw a float around now and again with a reasonable amount of accuracy. I doubt I'll ever use a pole, so this is about all I need to know.

 

Split Shot Size - Weight

 

3SSG = 4.8g

2SSG = 3.2g

LG = 3g

LSG = 2g

SSG = 1.6g

AAA = 0.8g

AB = 0.6g

BB = 0.4g

No.1 = 0.3g

No.3 = 0.25g

No.4 = 0.2g

No.5 = 0.15g

No.6 = 0.1g
