[QUOTE="Allen, post: 376273, member: 389"] I will use less than 1 oz when fishing less than 12 ft, 1.5 oz in between 12 and 20 ft, and 2 oz for anything over 20 ft. The reason for this rule of thumb for me is I don't like it when my fishing partners need to let out 80 ft of line. Just leads to more tangled lines. I have lots of friends who much prefer to jig, whether vertical or pitching. I don't mind jigging, but much prefer the peace and tranquility of drifting BBs or actively pulling them. However, I will use whatever I think is most likely to put the best balance of numbers and quality in the boat. Whether that is BBs, in-line weights, slip bobbers, cranking, ????...I will go with the hot bite every time. [/QUOTE]
