Depends on how the current is running. Near slack tide you might find the 1 oz jigs are too heavy. I've been at the ditch where 2oz jigs nab fish for a while but as soon as the current picks up and you stop feeling the bottom you need to move to a larger jig.

If your river is like most inlets you don't want anything extra on your line, it just give the rocks something else to grab.
