How much is enough? On the James , 10 oz weights should keep you on the bottom but I have seen up to 14 oz weights being used. Most fisherman use a sinker slider and change the sinker according to what the tide is doing but no less than 4 oz. I use the disc up to 14 oz w/ the clip for the sinker slide.
