Product Information
Full details
The Matrix Soft Shot Individual - 10 is designed for anglers who prioritize precision and line preservation in their terminal tackle setup. Crafted from super-soft pure lead, this split shot is perfect for those who frequently adjust their rig depth or position on the water. While it provides excellent centering for natural bait presentation, users should be aware that the lead material is softer than hardened alternatives and requires gentle handling to maintain its shape during repeated adjustments.

FAQs
What does the '10' represent in the product name?
The number 10 refers to the specific size classification of the shot, which indicates its weight profile within the Matrix range.
Is this product reusable?
Yes, because the lead is very soft, it can be opened and reused multiple times as long as the internal slot remains intact.
Can I use these with braided lines?
While they work on many lines, split shot is generally recommended for monofilament or fluorocarbon to ensure the best grip without slipping.
Does the lead contain any coatings?
The product consists of pure lead to maintain its soft, malleable properties.
How should I store these to keep them from spilling?
The product comes with a dedicated compact dispenser. Always ensure the lid is fully rotated to the 'closed' position when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Weight slides too easily on the line
Ensure your line diameter matches the slot size or gently squeeze the shot further to increase grip pressure.
Weight became deformed during application
Use only light finger pressure to apply. If deformed, use a small tool or your fingernail to gently reopen the gap and reshape slightly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely soft lead prevents line kinking and damage
- Perfectly centered design ensures balanced rigs
- Easy to adjust or remove without specialized tools
- Uniform sizing for consistent weight distribution
Cons
- Lead material is softer and can be deformed if compressed too hard
- Not suitable for extremely rocky bottoms where hard shot is required
- Requires manual dexterity to move on line without over-squeezing
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach the shot, place your fishing line into the central slot and apply gentle pressure using your fingers or a pair of soft-jaw pliers. Because the material is pure lead, avoid using heavy steel pliers as these may squash the weight and compromise its round profile. When moving the shot, support the line near the point of attachment to prevent excess friction. To ensure longevity, always return the weights to their dedicated dispenser after your session; keeping them clean and dry prevents the oxidation of the lead, which keeps the shots easy to handle and bright for better visibility in clear water.
