Shot Size Chart??

[chris301up]

Hi Guys. A bit of a strange question. But here goes anyway. I have had a bit of misfortune with my tackle box and have, what was once boxed, split shot everywhere and all mixed up. I can guess what size most are but was wondering if there is a size chart available anywhere so that I can re-box and label these accordingly. I have looked on the internet but can only find charts relating to weight, which really isn't much use to me in this instance. I seem to recall my Grandad had a red piece of plastic with holes in relating to the individual sizes of the shot. This was obviously many, many years ago and could've easily been home made? As anyone ever come across anything like this?

I wouldn't worry about it too much Chris, just take an educated Guess - The fish don't get it either.

You should be able to do this by rack of eye starting with the Smallest which I'm guessing will be No 8 ?? (The smallest I can just about see well enough to get on the Line) & work your way up - ie next will be No6 then No4.

OK, Shot also come in odd number sizes but I've always resisted the temptation to even think about buying these so I know I don't have any!!

Google fishing shot sizes and click on images. Plenty to choose from

Thanks peeps. I was just hoping to relocate them to their correct containers. I can guess so its not a major issue. What I have found in the garage is an old drill size template and should be able to make use of this as a guide. That'll be tomorrow now though. All the best

Here’s a chart that I did a few years ago for sticking to the lid of my float box.

Hope it helps
