I'm looking for opinions on the best brand of shot for rod and reel fishing with low diameter lines. I've previously used Dinsmores for all my floatfishing, but having moved over to Silstar match team (6lb .18mm) for my general mainline I noticed an increase in line damage and lost a few fish to it despite being careful with the pressure applied. To combat this I moved over to some softer ZLT shot but find it regularly pings off when playing a decent lump and slides like mad. I enjoy the benefits of low diameter lines and would prefer not to go back to regular mono, what brand/shape of split shot would you recommend I try to prevent these problems in your experience? Thanks.
