what size bullet weights do you carry?

Featured Replies

planning a trip up to bps to grab some things soon and was thinking about what size weights i should pick up. i like to carry as little as possible since im walking banks. so ive been using 1/16 , 1/8 , 1/4 , and 3/8oz weights but i was wondering what everyone else carries while fishing from shore..

Typically 1/8 and 1/4. I might go heavier or lighter on occasion depending on the current.

sounds like you have it covered.

Ok, I'll be the oddball, the size I use most is 3/16 :D

1/4-5/16-3/8 oz  If I did more river fishing or fished bigger waters than what I do I'd maybe have heavier.

When i walk banks,which i mostly do, I have everything from 1/16-3/8.The lighter you can get away with the better.

The lighter you can get away with the better.

thats why i never use anything heavier than 3/8oz. i may pick up some 1/2oz so i can get further out , but i dont see myself using anything bigger lol.

1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/2 oz.

And no lighter is not better, rate of fall is & that is determined by the bass :D

i think lighter is better most of the time.

i use  3/16oz when i can get away with it.

i carry from 1/16 to 3/4oz.

My most common is 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2.

I've just recently picked up some tru-tungstein to try out this year, with some of their peg-stops.

1/8, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, and 1 oz. I may try 11/2 oz this year.

I agree with Catt. I was taught lighter is better, but my experience has shown that is not always the case.

1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/2 oz.

X3, I also use 5/16 oz in addition to the others mentioned. I tend to use the use the heaviest I can get away with in most situations especially in the summer, more cast per hour shows my bait to more fish.

In all of my weights I try to carry enough but not too much.

1/4, 3/8, 3/4 and I have 1 oz true tungsten.

It is an absolute fact when fishing either a Jig-N-Craw or Texas Rig that the bite will come on the initial fall; the key to triggering that bite is Rate of Fall.

Believe it or not in 10' of water a bass can inhale a 1 oz jig long before it hits bottom :D

1/32 for my spring c-rigs to 3/4 oz for thick veggies
