What type of weights do you use to push cranks? I recently bought a couple of Bandit 300s and am going to try this summer.

3 oz. trolling weights.....Grizzly Jig has some oood ones with swivels
I use 2oz myself. Inline torpedo type.
I use 2oz for cranks & 1oz for jigs ... The 2oz trolling weights (torpedo shape) came from Crawdads Fishing Tackle & the 1oz came from Cabela's (Offshore Angler brand). I also have 4oz trolling weights (from Crawdads) but have not used them.
None of mine have swivels or chains, but Crawdads does offer some of their trolling weights with swivels.
I use trolling weights with swivels. I pour my own so I have them from 1/2oz to 5oz.
I have been running Off Shore Tackle Tadpole diving weights in 2&3 sizes. They will trip when a fish hits and you don’t have to fight the weight.
Rickie (rnvinc) makes flexible weights he calls Snake n Da brush in several sizes. They work great rigged Carolina Rig style.

I forgot to add .... I started out using barrel sinkers. I put them on the main line, then a large hole bead, & then a duolock snap. They worked just fine, except for the fact that I would have to cut the main line & re-rig whenever I wanted to change the amount of weight I was using. I quickly realized that was a bit too cumbersome for my tastes, so I went to the trolling weights.
I use snap weights a lot for walleye. Prefer them to lead core or anything else.
I'm going to try those Snake weights. Look like they might work pretty well.
I use 4oz ,but do have some 3oz
