Hello. I just purchased some inexpensive 1/16 oz drop shot weights that I didn't realize are lacking the pinched eyelet that traditional drop shot weights have. What knot should I be tying to the eyelet that should break if the weight gets hung so I don't lose the entire rig?

I just use a double overhand knot figuring that has to be plenty weak to break off at the weight instead of the hook or anywhere else in the line.

Could use a 3 wrap uni knot, or a double overhand knot. I've used both, you really don't need a super strong knot for that

Arbor knot

Another vote for the double overhand knot.  It'll break long before the knot holding the hook.
