    I've had good luck with size 8 x-strong treble hooks.
    If the live shrimp are small, I've seen guys use size 10.
    Women cry at the end of TITANIC.
    Men cry at the end of GLADIATOR.

    #10 or #8 trebles, 3-4X
    #2 or #4 Kahle hooks

    Most everyone I know, if using a treble, go with a #10 3x.

    As much as you need.
    Really depends on the current. Some days, a couple of split shot. The next day you may need a 3oz egg sinker.
