Product Information
Full details
The Matrix Cube Shot - 11 is an essential accessory for anglers who prioritize precision and efficiency in their rig construction. Designed for both casual and competitive fishing, these cube-shaped weights allow for seamless grouping on the fishing line, ensuring superior presentation without damaging the line material. While their specialized shape offers significant advantages in stability and arrangement, users should note that they require a specific technique to seat firmly compared to traditional round split shot.

FAQs
Are these weights made of lead?
Matrix Cube Shots are formulated for optimal density and softness, consistent with industry standards for fishing weights.
How do I move the shot once it is attached?
Gently grip the shot with your fingers or a tool and slide it along the line. If it is too tight, loosen the pressure slightly before moving.
Will these work with braided lines?
While intended primarily for monofilament, they can be used with braid, though we recommend using a monofilament leader for better grip.
Can I reuse these shots?
Yes, the material is soft enough to be opened and reused, provided you do not excessively deform the cube shape.
Is the dispenser refillable?
The dispenser is designed for convenient storage and is best used with the intended Matrix replacement sizes.
Troubleshooting
Shot slips on the line during a cast
Ensure the line is correctly seated in the center groove and apply slightly more pressure to the cube sides.
Difficulty closing the shot
Use a proper split shot applicator tool rather than your fingernails to ensure even pressure across the cube faces.
Shot causes line kink
You may have applied too much pressure; ensure you are only applying enough force to secure the weight to the line without crushing the line fibers.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Stays securely in place once compressed
- Cube shape prevents rolling on the line
- Easy to adjust without damaging line integrity
- Compact dispenser fits easily in tackle boxes
- Wide cut simplifies the attachment process
Cons
- Requires a specific tool or pliers for optimal seating
- Less aerodynamic than spherical shot in long-range casting
- May take practice for anglers used to traditional soft lead
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply the Matrix Cube Shot - 11, simply place the line within the wide central cut and apply gentle pressure using a dedicated pair of disgorger pliers or a split shot tool. Avoid using excessive force with metal pliers to prevent over-compression.
- Compatibility: These are compatible with all standard monofilament and fluorocarbon line diameters typically used in coarse and match fishing.
- Care: Keep the dispenser closed when not in use to prevent dirt and moisture from entering. To prolong the life of the shot, avoid dragging the weighted section over sharp rocks or abrasive substrates. If the shots become fouled with bait or silt, rinse them in fresh water and dry thoroughly before returning them to the dispenser.
