Bloo,
I think I understand what you're saying -- "There's no such thing as a stupid question" ... we all started out in this sport with lots of questions. I find myself asking more questions now than ever.
However, I do feel that our friend Plum would benefit immensely by doing a little homework. Arra's new book would be a great place to start. It covers all the tackle, casting, rigs and techniques any newcomer would ever need. If you have a tight budget, visit a library...lots of good stuff...even the oldest of books like, "Salt Water Fishing is Easy" by Jerry Sylvester will give you an idea of rigs that are just as effective today as they were decades ago.
Maybe, Plum was confused by the fact that lots of great anglers DO USE weights with jigs, although most of them are fishing by boat when they do it. We've nailed some big bass on a variety of rips by three-waying jigs and using up to 8 ounces of lead to get the jig/pork trailer into the big fish zone. I don't advocate this in a surf fishing application however.
