It depends on the speed of the current. Lets say its slack. You can use 2 OZ. As it gets going , three will work well for maybe an hour. Then you need to keep going up. Bucktails also have a lot more drag than a bare ball with a curltail. If 3 is maxing out your equipment , you can get it down by casting further up current and letting it sink before taking up the slack. For drifting down current for long drifts , you need to use a heavy jig and let line out to get down.
