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

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?

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

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.

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.

I guess I use 3/16 the most.

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.  

Air rifle pellet.

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.

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.

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.

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

3/4oz i like to fish fast

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