You can literally use anything, nails, drywall screws, but I like the twist nails. The one I use most is 7/8”. I threw it on the powder scale— it weighs 21.5ish grains aka .05 ounces, which is slightly less than 1/16 oz. 

No brass does not make a difference. If you can find something that doesn’t distort the shape of the plastic and stays snuggly in the nose of the bait, you can use it. Don’t worry if a weights don’t fall cleanly in the 1/32, 1/16, or 1/8 oz category either, it doesn’t matter. 

Yeah I agree on weight. As long as it sinks the bait at the rate you want, who cares if irs technically 2/16th or whatever.
