I only use 1/2 oz on my catfish rig. If more weight is needed then two are put on.

Personally I rarely use egg sinkers as they roll to easy. I usually use bank or lindy type in 1/2 to 1 ounce most of the time. Fishing the lake with chicken livers or stink bait, it's just a split shot or two or none at all/

I myself don't use egg sinkers either. I have a "bank sinker" mold that I use. I usually only use 1/2 oz. here also. If the current is heavy, then I use 3/4 to 1 oz.
