Split Shot Pliers

Product Information

Ballabeni shot sits very securely on your line, making it very hard to take off. You can try and get something into the cut to open them up and remove them, but it isn’t easy. Some anglers even use their teeth to open them up!, which I don’t recommend since they are made from lead!

Standard pliers are the most common type, and they have a curved head that is ideal for removing hooks and cutting line.While this is a bit of a pain in terms of rigging, the benefits far outweigh the negatives here. For a few extra minutes of rigging time, you will have your bait sitting and sinking more naturally, plus you will get more bites and catch more fish. This shot is much harder than other traditional split shot, but you don’t want the shape to change when adding it, as this will affect how it sinks. Make sure to add enough pressure to make it secure but not too much that misshapes it. If it does change shape, it would be wise to re-rig. How To Remove Ballabeni Shot From Your Line? Cutting line: Fishing pliers can be used to cut fishing line, as well as braided line and leader material. I use the shot when I don’t want to use stotz throughout the rig. Stots can slip during the hooking and playing of carp and F1’s, so adding one on either side of the stotz solves this sliding issue. In the UK, it is not possible to use sizes 1 through 7, so I will use stotz instead of Ballabeni for those larger sizes. Is Ballabeni Shot Easy To Use? So, before you head out on your next fishing adventure, be sure to choose a pair of fishing pliers that will suit your needs. 1. Fox Rage Split Ring Pliers

By being perfectly centrally cut, they ensure that you can align your shot uniformly and ensure your bait sinks and sits as naturally as possible in the water. This will remove any suspicion from wary fish who have been caught before and hopefully mean you catch more fish because of it. When To Use Ballabeni Shot? You should use Ballabeni shot whenever you would usually use other split shots, and this is mostly when you are float fishing, either with a pole or a conventional rod and reel float setup. Furthermore, they are suitable for use w ith bait bands ranging from 2mm to 6.5mm, making them ideal for baits such as pellets and boilie dumbells. Overall, I was really pleased with the Daiwa Prorex split ring pliers and would recommend them to anyone looking for a good quality pair of fishing pliers.
