In smaller sizes, I use Ballabeni split shot, not the cheapest but it's best to my mind.
Dinsmore, on the other hand, is the brand in larger sizes that I use for waggler fishing. I can't say it's best to me, it is what I use. For my lines safety, I use a silicon buffer to prevent damage to my reel lines and fish the float on a twizzled line for more security. I reckon I probably over-egging the security of my lines but fishing light lines forces me to be more protective. More cautionary than fear.
Not nipping the shot correctly causes the odd loss to pinging off, especially when fish are hooked.
Do you use a better shot than Dinsmore?
