    So I will give you my best advice. I use small split shot weights which make my floats stand upright in the water and make the line slip through the bobber and get the bait down in the water. I keep all different sizes handy and adjust according to the type float I am using depending on how it looks in the water, i.e. how it stands up. With split shots I can add or take away and reuse them. Hope this helps....

    I primarily use 1/24, 1/16, and 1/8 split shot weights.

    The amount of weight I use varies with the type or style of float I use. Normally I'll use a slender float and enough weight to submerge about 50% of the float. Slender floats will offer less resistance to go under water.
