I normally go weightless. A lot of poeple like the watermellon/pumplinseed colors but I have had the best success with black/purple with a yellow tail.

Weight and color depend on a number of different factors. Weight-I use the lightest I can get by with. If I'm fishing deep or in real thick cover I go heavy.
Color-depends on the cloud cover and water clarity. Darker days more natural colors, sunny day lighter colors. Water clarity-same thing. Clear water-natural colors. Stained water-add some color like a chartreuse tail.

I like 3/16 t rig and as a starter color in murkey water (less than one foot) i go with Junebug.
Most of the time tho after the water clears up I start with punkin seed with chartruse tail in clear spring waters, then go to some red shad or motor oil type color, which I have noticed the industry has renamed to sound cooler rofl |

None. The reason it is weedless is so you can fish it in the real thick stuff. Open water I'm throwing a crank or a spinnerbait.

It depends on what cover and if there is current. I use from a 1/16 to a 3/8 depending on depth. Color depends on time of year, time of day or night and water color.Generally speaking in clear water I like translucient colors like watermellon and something or pumpkin. In stained water I will opt for red shad or black or purple. When night fishing I go with black grape or tequila sunrise or red bug. In the late summer when the fish are 25 to 35 feet deep off shore I will use grape or blue translucient shades.In stained water and at night I may go with a paddletail or straight tail but during the day I almost always use a sicle tail or swimming tail. Low stratch lines are a plus on a T rig. In clear water I never insert a raddle but at night or in stained water I do use a rattle. Fish2win

i usually use 7" powerbait worms with a 1/8 oz bullethead sinker. i use 1/4 oz sinker if its heavier cover. but i prefer not to use anything heavier than that.

almost 90% of the time, I'm fishing T-rigs weightless. I find it rare that I need any hole punching weights because more often than not there are holes in the cover that make great spots for sliding a weightless worm over the slop or whatever and letting it fall silently and slowly into the hole. in the 10% of the time I do use a weight, its mostly because of wind or current that will move my bait if its weightless.
