weight? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I use 1/2 oz weedless heads on 5-6.5" swimbaits, but have been considering going up to 1.5 oz for a faster fall rate. I've always fished shallower water from shore in the past, so the slow fall has been fine, but now that I'm kayaking there have been sometimes where I felt I was waiting forever to get the bait down.

I recently got some 3/4 oz and 1 oz weedless jigheads to try out with some big Kalin's grubs, so I'll start experimenting there.
