Whilst half-term grandson-sitting I've given him the table to learn the first 2 columns for a test later - before he can come fishing with me again!:eek:
He wants to learn Golf now! :eek::rolleyes::eek:mg:

North Yorkshire.
I have the bulk of that printed on a credit card sized piece of plastic. IIRC, I got it from a Yorkshire tackle shop, for free!;):D Kudos to York Tackle.
It lives in my vastly underused seatbox as I found I only needed it when shotting pole floats. However, there does seem to be an increasing trend for more general floats to be marked in a similar way. I get by though, using shot that has the weight in grams printed alongside the size (AA, BB, No1 etc) on the container label.

My little s-a pointed out the inconsistent spelling of styl, as in
As well as split shot there is also 'Stles' and 'Stotz'.

Unlike the round split shot, the Style is long and thin
