Dinsmores Egg Shot - Single Shot Dispenser (Size 1) | Tin Egg Shot with Green Cushion Coating

Overview

Dinsmores Egg Shot is a tin weight with an egg-shaped profile and a green coating designed for streamlined rigging on a wide range of fishing setups. The distinctive form helps the weight glide through guides with less resistance, potentially reducing hangups and snags when casting and retrieving in moving water or calm pools. While there is no guarantee of results, many anglers appreciate the smoother feel and easier handling this shape offers.

Design and feel

Crafted from durable tin and finished with a green resin cushion coating, the shot balances solid density with a tactile, friendly grip. The coating protects the surface from wear, keeps handling comfortable in damp conditions, and helps the weight stand out against water and line in your rig bag. The egg silhouette also contributes a balanced feel when held between fingers during setup.

Key features

• 8 sizes to choose from
• Octagonal dispenser for controlled, one-handed loading
• Green resin coated for durability and easy handling
• Tin egg shot construction
• Location divot for quick placement on rigs

Choosing the right size

Eight options let you tune weight to depth, current, and target species. For faster, shallower presentations, smaller sizes may be ideal; for deeper or stronger flows, larger weights help you reach the desired sink rate without bulk on the rig.

How to use

Start by selecting a size that matches your rig and conditions. Load the shot with the octagonal dispenser, then place it along the lead line at the marked depth. The egg shape typically moves smoothly through lines and around guides, with less chance of snag in weed or structure.

Real-world use cases

• Freshwater rigs in moving water where quick adjustments matter
• Near weed edges or rocky banks where snag resistance helps control
• Compact weights suitable for brackish or saltwater sessions needing reliable placement

Care and storage

Rinse after use to remove salt, dirt, or debris. Dry thoroughly and store in a cool, dry place to maintain the coating and metal integrity for field trips.

Bottom line

This egg-shaped shot offers a practical combination of weight, handling, and storage. It’s designed to support versatile rig setups while keeping things organized on the bank or boat. Use as a possibility to simplify rigging and streamline your session.
