How many have noticed that the newer split shots are an extra hard a you can’t hardly bite them closed.
My area used to sell water gremlin brand they were soft. These newer ones are maybe babbet or tin. And you have to use pliers to close them and with light line you can crimp and weaken the line.

Yes, and here I was thinking I'm just getting weak hands.

I've got my Dad's upstairs in a container. Don't know why. Can;t get myself to sell them.

Gold is over $2000 a ounce. Or better yet have a ring made from it and your Dad would be with you where ever you go.

Mike u r right on target with that.
Have to be careful when u crimp them on the line. Even a light crimp damages the line.

Definitely not like the old ones for sure.
Course, out here in California you can't buy lead split shot anymore. Do they even produce it anymore?

We have lead weights still on the shelf here.
Is it against the law to use lead weights there?

You can still use lead weights in Calif for fishing but can't use lead bullets for hunting. Can use lead for target shooting but not hunting go figure

Wonder the reasoning for this??

I could explain but don't want to take Mike's post to the Attic, know what I mean

My neighbor to the north, Massachusetts, doesn't allow lead sinkers, lures, or jigs in freshwater. Jigs over 1oz are allowed but I believe they presume that they will be used in saltwater.

I too thought that all lead products (including in shotgun shells) were outlawed. I still have old split shot as well as sinkers my father made with his molds (he had army men molds too). Now all is banned. When I was young I had a Chemistry set complete with asbestos trivet and a jar of carbon tetrachloride!
