As far as weights I've tried eco pro and strike kings. I like the SK and use the peg its to peg the weight. Never had any problems with either and they have big enough holes to thread any type of line and the rubber stoppers through

I've never really needed anything heavier than 1-1/4 oz. That's as high as SK tour grades go. T-Boo I know the academy brand H20 express sells tungsten cheaper than most but never tried them.
