    I don't even think I own any.

    I use 1/16 90% of the year, 1/32 during the spring and fall when they are shallow. I occasionally use 1/8, but not very often.

    For deep winter presentations, I prefer to use a spoon or jigging rap.

    I don’t use anything that heavy, not even in saltwater.

    I use 1/4 oz several times throughout the year. Anything from pushing, pulling or single poling. I'll go against the grain here. I don't like 1/4 oz when live scoping. I prefer a 1/16 so I can keep the bait near the fish longer but some days the wind makes me go up to 1/4 oz.

    I use them pushing in shallow water 1 to 7 foot of water...and vertical jigging in 15 foot of water and deeper....

    I've used them under a cigar float long lining, it also seems to be a go to method on Lake Talquin in the panhandle of Florida.

    never have used them that big. Usually 1/16 is as heavy as I go, and add a split shot in needed

    I have some 1/4 heads with size 2 hooks I use when fishing deep bridge pilings. Downsize the hook and you will find a 1/4oz jig head is really not that large.

    I have very few but wind and/or strong current may require them.
