baits/size for both .... usually a 1.75" plastic on a 1/16oz jighead. I'll start with that, and downsize if the drop speed needs slowing down, or if I'm fishing very shallow water. Then I'll move down to 1/32oz jighead, but still have a 1.75" plastic body on it. Most plastic bodies I use, are from 1.5-1.75-2 inches in length, but mostly I use the 1.75"
The baits I use now are still about the same size as the minnows I used to use. So, I'm of the opinion that, while bigger baits do sometimes catch bigger fish ... smaller baits will too, and they'll also catch smaller fish ... which equals to more fish :D I enjoy the thump, the line tic, and the pullage ... regardless of size. When you only get to go a few times a year, like me, you take numbers over size ... but, you're always hopeful of getting "both" :p
