3/16 to 2.0 are the tungsten weights in my arsenal, including those Miller Punch Weights, definitely making for one heavy Plano box. 

Ive got just about every size nail, bullet, DS, cylinder, neko and wacky tungsten weight in from 3/64-1/2oz, since the water is shallow and I don't really punch.  My most used/if I could only have 1 weight are as follows

Bullet 3/16

DS 1/8

Nail 3/32

Cylinder/Mojo 1/8

 

I only recently started using tungsten, as Vermont doesn't allow lead under 1/2oz. I use bullet's in 3/16. That's it. Did have to buy 3/16 drop shot weights, which I feel are a waste, but I only bought 1 pack of 10 for the 1 week I fish VT a year. 

 

I hardly ever fish plastics that's not on a jig, ned, chatterbait.

Just a side note on the Tungsten weights....In New York State since 2004 it is "illegal to sell, or offer for sale, lead fishing weights of less than 1/2 oz". It is NOT illegal to USE lead weights of less than 1/2 oz. Which means that you can make your own, or buy them from a source outside of NY, and use them....which many anglers do.

I have a few 1/8, but mostly 3/8, 1, and 1.5 oz.

Technically that's what Vermont says too, but on their eregulations. . . Im a person who uses steel shot for small game, and I guess it time to transition from lead to tungsten, just very expensive for things I purposely toss into cover with light line. Good thing I don't use many sinkers anyway. Not worth the hassle if I get check by a warden.
