This may sound stupid.Because i dont quite know how to word this but do 5/16 and 7/16 translate into like 3/8ths or 5/8ths or any of the average weights we throw. And if not do any of those weigh more then 5/8ths. I hope somebody can help me. Tight lines

8/16 = 1/2 oz

7/16 is JUST shy of half an ounce.

4/16 = 1/4 oz

5/16 is JUST over a quarter ounce.

5/16 is 1/16 heavier than 1/4.  7/16 is 1/16 lighter than 1/2.  Neither is over 5/8.  Hope that helps.

We posted the same exact thing at the same exact time!

Great minds think alike!

Wow thank you ao much guys that helped so much.So neither one is heavier then 5/8ths so if a rod was listed for 5/8ths and above then the sloest one to that would be the 7/16ths. Thank you so much guys im glad im not the only late night bass addict

No problem.

Keep in mind, 7/16 is still under the min. rating for that rod.  But add a trailer to that jig and you're probably at or above 5/8oz.
