Pretty cool idea, nice find. Have you actually tried fishing with it to test it out? I'd recommend going with smaller splitshots, if you need more weight, just add additional, more versatile that way.
@iliveoutside I will soon. The lake on my property is thawing out. As soon as it does I will test the new version out. The bag of splitshots I have has mixed weights, but I will get more of the lighter weight ones to try in a spare kit. Thanks for the comment!
@john762x39 someone else had mentioned that to me as well. I actually found these at my local supermarket in the form of a fruit punch flavored 26 gram "Super Protein Shot"(Tastes Nasty!). As you can see, they work great as a replacement to the heavier PVC pipe! Thanks for the comment!
@docsimonson I plan on making a video of it in action as soon as the lake we live on unfreezes. The temperature is usually cold enough to freeze the lake solid this time of year, but it has been unusually warm so far. The lake is frozen, but not thick enough walk safely on to ice fish yet.
