basic thoughts on weight - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

What is your basic thoughts on the weight of your leadheads. I tend to fish as light as possible. 3/8oz in Mission or Newport, 3/8-1oz in SD Bay or while fishing calicoes. But, I realized today that this comes from fishing regular leadheads and trying to avoid eel grass and rock. That constant worry about losing lead.

But, I almost exclusively fish Warbait heads now. I'm thinking that if I went heavier in general I might do better. Lord knows that all the pics I see on FB of guys catching calicoes are on 3/4-2oz heads.

What ya think?
