I learned the hard way that 2 oz is totally inadequate except in calm water without ripping currents.. i went on the Angler in june this year when fishing was red hot.. I got 1 18 inch keeper all day when several of the guys right next to me were catching keeper after keeper.. they must have caught 25 each over 18 inches. they were using HUGE 8 oz lead heads/ w huge Pink shine Gulp with braid line.. One guy was doing very well with 2 4 oz jig heads in tandem ... I was badly outgunned with a max of 2 1/2 oz, and mono line.
no matter how hard I tried to keep the jig down it simply wasn't on bottom enough.. the fish wanted that jig tight to bottom, and i simply wasn't getting hit, but the guys with massive jig weight and braid were KILLING big fluke all day.. it was VERY frustrating
