[size 1]If you are going to use powerbait and expect it to float, then I would go with a #16 hook for using with the powerbait plunger or #14 if you plan on making a ball the size of a large gumball.
I have generally use a #16 treble hook with about 1/4 oz split shot anywhere from 12 to 18 inches from the hook. It all depends on where you are fishing and the water temp as well as outside temperature.
If the fish are biting closer the top, then I would go with a #12 treble and normal size ball of powerbait and drop it 18 to 24 inches from a bobber. The bigger hook and smaller size doughball will cause it to sink. [/size]
