What weight jigs are the "most used"???
I assume lots of factors come into play, but day in/day out, what weight do you find yourself using the most??

3/4 or 1 oz. Mostly 1 oz.
You are not a good or nice person.

Just heavy enough to hang straight down or slightly behind the direction of drift.
Some days 3/4 ounce is more than enough and other days 2 ounces isn't, those days suck.

LOL, I am no longer that mad at the fish, to go out on "those" kind of days.

Use big socks or several socks to keep the drift at or near .5mph. I've seen 1oz to 2oz jig caught good fish. I prefer the 1 oz with very sharp hooks.

If I could only have one size in the boat that fits most scenarios it would be 1 oz

When targeting double digit fish, two ounce with a 7" fluke, dead sticking in general one ounce tied in tandem with smaller jig below !
