Usually I swap out the treble for a single hook. A very rough rule of thumb is 2 oz for 100 ft, 3 oz for 200 ft, 4 oz for 300 ft, and add 1-2 oz to those numbers if you're drifting from the wind.

Thanks man, I gotta check out those lures. Those are good tips. I was rigging 8oz sinkers @ 270-350ft. It started getting tiring after a few hours on the water. I guess I'll go down to 3-5oz.
