1-5 to 2oz is perfect for me and all I ever use. Even with small bags you easy get to 3-3.5oz and as my waters have leader bans, these are fine casting straight through and I can put them further and more accurate than a baited rig.

Depends on the size of the bag and the density of the fill! . . .do agree that the lighter the lead the greater the chance of it landing 'upside down / back on itself' which is not ideal . . .do prefer to have a heavier lead on one side of the bag so it always lands lead down and with the hookbait on the opposite side (so it acts like a method feeder)

make sure you pack them tight & pierce it properly
1.5 oz of lead isn't much to sink a bag with any air inside it.

thank you for all the advice.
I will be giving the 1.5's a go tomorrow with KD rigs so i'll see how it goes

Depends on distance and make up of lake.
If you can balance a 1oz lead to descend correctly in a solid bag to not bury in silt its a right edge.
If i was casting a distance on a gravel type pit its 3-4oz leads all the time for control of distance, accuracy, descent etc.

I use 2oz inline in bags with no issues regarding casting,so 1.5 plus the amount of items you put in your bag would be more than ok

All depends on range and the gear your using / your casting ability etc. I prefer 4-6oz inline pear leads on a drop off set up in a solid bag, but then I'm either placing in the margin or using a baitboat at range so weight and bag bulk is not an issue . . ..have used 1.5oz inlines for 'casting only' bags at medium range in the past and used these pre-tied on Gemini stems pretty much exclusively. . .

Too light for what? I vary regularly between using 1.5oz and 4oz depending in the situation I am facing (granted this is general fishing and not in bags) so depends on how you use them. A heavier lead will help the initial hook set, but if you use a tight clutch I don't think it makes much difference, I tend to go up a lead for distance and use smaller leads if fishing close in to minimise disturbance, which is irrelevant if using a bag. Long winded way of saying I think you'll be fine

On the rare occasion that I use solid bags, I have used 2oz and they've been OK. Think you should be OK with 1.5oz.

Good Morning all,
I am wanting to prepare a load of solid bags before my next session on wednesday, i have quite a few 1.5oz inline pairs that im thinking on giving a go.
Are these too light? they will be paired with a KD Rig.
Whats the lightest people use on the forum?
Thanks,
