I fish mostly shallow (less than 15' ) and have just about settled in on 1/4oz and 3/8th oz. under spins with <4" swim baits or regular Fluke soft plastics. There are times to work it faster up in the water column OR work it slow along the bottom . Anything deeper than 15' or 20' feet I believe  is reserved for 1/2 oz. weights and higher  ... What weight under spins  do you you prefer ?

I love how you start off by saying, "I fish mostly shallow (less than 15')

 

Sir with all do respect our definitions greatly differ on the term shallow. Nevertheless carry on..?

It's not shallow until you have to trim the motor up here.

 

3/8oz with a 3.8 Fat Impact is my sweet spot for underspins.

Thanks for the replies - LOL ! Yeah , perhaps best to have said "I fish depths usually less than 15' (in reservoirs that are 100'+ deep)" ... I suppose it's all relative .

3/16th and 1/8th are my most used paired with a 2.8 and 3.3 keitech. Coolbaits is my go-to

My water on the Potomac averages 6' or less and i never go heavier than 3/16th.  Now, if I go into the Occoquan River tributary and fish the interstate 95 bridge abutmants in 25 ft of water, that is a different story and out comes the 3/4oz.

Thanks for the replies - as for the 2.8 Keitechs , gosh every time I see those I just can't see rigging them or fishing them ... the 3.3 is my current smallest swim bait size and I'm more comfortable with 3.8 Keitechs .

Don’t have the 2.8, but gonna try the 3” Easy Shiner in a 1/4 oz guppy head next club tourney. The 3.3 Fat Impact looks to be a better fit though.

Just need small jig heads. Anymore a 3.8 feels like a giant swimbait, at least where I am with threadfin being the largest baitfish species and lots of little smelts, shiners, and silversides the small baits get a lot of action.
