lead head. The size would depend on your rod. Have a look through the other reports and in particular the lure fishing section. Loads of good advice there.

I'd go with a 20g lead head for Nice and easy casting. I find the set ups with line between lure and weight are difficult to cast and they can get wrapped around obstacles and snag easily. I suppose it depends on where you intend to fish. I would be using the lead head with soft plastics on the move and in and out of various rocky and weedy ground. Also if I'm knee deep in water I don't want to be changing snagged rigs which are complicated. If it snags I just whip another lead head on where I'm standing. This means the lure spends more time in the water.
