Where are you planning on fishing and how deep?

I agree with either torpedo's or Shark types weights, two members on here make these type, Troutman and Bikini bottom, check the classified ads

The currents on Lake O can cause havoc with pancake weights

Agree 1000%. Pancake weights = tangles. They take on a life of their own in cross currents

I use torpedoes for trolling up off the bottom. If you will be fishing close to bottom (lakers) then you will want round balls. I wouldnt bother with much under 10 lbs unless you will be fishing very shallow. The blowback on the lighter weights when you get down 70-80 + ft is significant. Just got 2 15lbrs from troutman and they look great.
