Replace it with nothing, if you are using jigs or plugs, you don't need any additional weights. Make sure that you are using a 2 ounce jig when 2 ounces is needs to cast and reach bottom.

99.99995 % of the time there is really no need to use a heavy weight in addition to a plug or jig. Not even worth thinking about.

When you are fishing cut bait, you use the weight to get it out and to the bottom against a current. When you are using a plug or jig - the weight is in the plug or jig. So the answer is nothing - only consider using the weights when you are fishing cut/chunk bait...

Good luck & remember to keep it REALLY simple...
