Without hardware ... wire, hooks, split rings, etc ... here is a rule of thumb:
0% Microballoons ... slow to medium sink rate
30-35% Microballoons ... neutrally buoyant ... suspending
50% microballoons ... floats
100% microballoons ... floats but also jumps to the top much more rapidly
Design of lure shape will also have some effect but this should give you some starting points.
