I usually go by depth and bait size. For less than 10ft, I use a 3/8, 10-20 a 1/2 and deeper 3/4 and so on. That being said I like to get down quick and fish weedless texas rigged jig heads. Sometimes I will fish smaller baits on heavy heads too. For this I use freedom tackle jig heads and swap out the hooks for smaller ones that fit the bait the best. This lets me throw shrimp patterns and really pound the bottom to make a more natural presentation. Other times I will use this trick to match the hatch and still get down if there's a lot of small bait around.
