Default Downrigger weights. What to use?

Received a downrigger as a gift from why wife late last year, now I need to buy a weight for it. I'll mostly use it for trout fishing in Round Valley, Merrill Creek and some other smaller north Jersey lakes and reservoirs. I'll mostly be trolling at pretty slow speeds, no more than 3 mph. I'd like to get it down to reach the lakers.

I have no clue what weight to buy. What weight do the downrigger users here who fish NJ lakes use?
