What is the most popular size tungsten weights used?? Any details I should know about them before I buy a bunch?? How about price? I have seen some with inserts and some without. Which is better? Painted or plain?? Thanks for your help.

I'd like to know as well. I've used them a couple of times when fishing with my father in law but haven't really researched them much. I wanna start using though!

Don't get ones with inserts. I've found the picasso and the elite tungsten ones to be the best. The paint will come off them but I'm pretty sure you can repaint them. Size and color comes down to personal preference.

The ones I've used without inserts would fray my line.

Shallow applications (mojo rig), 3/16, 1/4/, 5/16. Deeper use 3/8, 1/2. If you are punching thick grass use the 1 oz and the 1 1/4 oz. Not sure if color matters but I use green pumpkin color. APT has the best prices that I have found. Also, I have had some success with the 1/16 size in front of senko type bait of your choice.

I use either Strike King or Bass Pro Shops. Can't tell any difference and BPS is cheaper. I use mostly 1/8 oz. for finese bass fishing.
In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.
