Even if I'm targeting Red Snapper I'll generally use 200g.

I have an assortment of diamond and hammered diamonds in 6oz, 8oz, 10oz, and 12oz.

Thanks for the response! I'll be targeting Mutton Snapper (8-12lb range) and Grouper during my next trip down to Miami so your snapper fishing observations help a lot. However, say you had a long (8 inches) 3oz knife jig, would you use it? (has a large profile, but would be lighter than your normal ~5oz....)
