Split Shot! (& a Wide World of Weights)

That tiny, compartmentalized plastic cup. You probably had one in your tackle box when you were a kid. You need to have one in your fly fishing vest today.

But split shot is just the tip of the weight-option iceberg. Weighted flies, poly leaders, and sink tips – what a time to be alive. In this episode, I discuss some of the pros and cons of these options. I also talk a little bit about some nontraditional ways to think about adding weight to your fly rigs.
