What weight sinker do you most commonly use to Texas Rig?

[FryDog62]

What's your most common weight you use when T-rigging in and around weeds for largemouth?  I've usually been using 1/4 to 5/16 oz when throwing various plastics (Pit Boss, Rage Bug, etc), but am feeling the need to go heavier...  Depends on a lot of factors I know, but what's your formula?

[12poundbass]

Zero oz. 

[primetime]

3/16 & 5/16. 

[XpressJeff]

1/4 for me.

I like weightless too.  Just seems like a more natural presentation.

[Russ E]

I use the lightest possible for the conditions. it depends on the weed density and depth i am trying to reach.

if the weeds are sparse I will use no weight to 1/4 oz.

if I have to punch through a mat I will go up to 3/8 - 3/4 oz.

[Bluebasser86]

1/4oz

[Turkey sandwich]

1/8-3/8oz are the most common for me, unless I need to get through really heavy vegetation.  I've gone as light as 1/16 oz pretty consistently in the past and had great success. 

[Mike L]

3/16, 1/4 or 1 1/2 depending on what and where.

1/8, 3/16, & 1/4 oz. ?

[tander]

I guess I use 3/16 the most.

[SummertimeCarl]

I also almost always use 3/16.  I honestly just don't have the patience to go too light and like to be able to "feel" my lure.

What does this mean?  Do you just insert a BB into the actual soft plastic bait?  I've heard of people using nails but never BB's but it seems like an interesting idea to try.  

[Raul]

Most common is 1/4 oz.

[bassin is addicting]

1/8, 3/16, & 1/4 oz. ? also...

3/16 , 1/4 and 5/16th get used almost 100 per cent of the time . Occasionally I will use a 1/8th . I dont have the massive weed beds to punch through like some of you do. 

[Bankbeater]

1/8, 3/16, and 1/4 ounce if I need weight.  When I fish a Senko and senko knockoffs I usually start out weightless and go from there.

[Munkin]

3/16oz is what I use the most with creature baits.

[sully420]

3/4oz i like to fish fast

[Rick Howard]

1/8, 3/16, & 1/4 oz. Most common for me.  Any heavier I tend to go for a jig.
