When fishing deep it gets you down quicker & makes it easier to see too.

Why not a heavier jig. A lift bite is hard to detect with a split shot. I do however understand the double rig for LS.

I’ve also found sometimes they don’t want that big heavy jig but readily take a small one. Split shot helps get it down quicker.

Yep.
