I'd have to agree with Mike, unless you have a hard current, very steep channel dropoff, with some snag free water to begin with, going much over 1-1/2 oz is going to keep you busy re-rigging. Unless I'm fishing a 5 or 8 inch grub or a paddle tail swim bait, which require a steady retreive of sorts to impart action, I'd opt for a jig hook with solder wrapped around the shank for casting weight and a little depth control. Even so, unless I'm at the canal I'd usually be throwing 1/2, 3/4 or 1 oz max for jig heads on those swim baits. I'm a firm believer in using the lightest weight required and would rather adjust the rod/reel/line and risk loosing fish, than fish heavier weights.
