Texas Rig weight ?

[Pherris]

I know conditions will many times determine the amount of weight to use but just wondering what you use most of the time on deep weeds or in cabbage on your texas rigs?

I honestly don't fish a Texas rig that often on the weedline. I know it can be torture with all the vegetation obstructions, but I fish a jigworm. However, I will give in, with cabbage in particular, and fish a 1/4 oz. free sliding weight. If it were really windy, I may switch to a 1/2 oz. But, I prefer the somewhat slower fall of the 1/4 oz.

They're was also a little discussion about this on the thread below:

Generally i try to go as light as possible. On a normal day i start out with a 1/16 oz. If it gets a little windy and i cant "feel" anything i go up to 1/8 or if its really windy go with a 1/4 oz. Best thing to do is experiment around. Also if you peg the weight with either a tooth pick or a bobber stop, it stays alittle more weedless. Also Deitz had a good write up about using a glass bead and a weight to make a "clicking" sound. But, best thing to do is go out and try different stuff. Goot luck!
