Speaking of bucktail weights, here's an observation. 2 ounce used to be my go to size for fishing in the ocean which i typically do around the artificial reefs in 60 - 70'. Last year I switched to a lighter rod/reel with 10lb. braid and found that most days I could fish a 1.5 ounce well. Caught as many fish as the 2 ounce, but lost a lot less jigs in the rubble. That extra half ounce of lead makes a difference.
