For hat depth I always throw a Bandit 200 or 300. Ive tried the Academy brand crank baits as well but don't get the same results. I also change the treble hooks on my Bandits when I buy them.

Look up the books written by Buck Perry. He explains it really well when it comes to "structure".
This is the best advice so far. Buck Perry's insight is truly amazing considering he figured out structure fishing before we had all of these depth finders. He is considered the father of structure fishing. "Spoonplugging" is a must read for anyone wanting to understand fishing offshore.

From December 2016:
Crankbait fishing for bass can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. You can do everything with one crankbait rod and catch a lot of fish or you can fine tune it into a variety of baits, rods, etc... and take it to another level. In this fishing video we break down the gear and the baits that will let you push your bass fishing to new heights.

I just went stock up on my c-rig baits and jig trailers.

I've been curious about this but had no idea how drilling into a crank and/or adding weight would work, I may do some tinkering leading up to this weekend.
Drilling into bottom of hollow body floater/diver lure, regardless of size/action of lip (shallow, medium, deep diver) to add weight to any of these "lipped cranks" has never been a problem. I probably did that 44 years ago in about 1973 when I drilled through bottom of a Rebel black back/silver side shallow floater/diver to add one or two BBs or 5 or 6 small shot before sealing the hole with 2 part epoxy.
Added weight to the shallow floater/diver, sure, for fishing off banks of Toledo Bend and off banks of canals in the "Spillway". It also added rattle. Sound, obviously. Added positives? Who can say? I can say that I thought it added no negatives.
Subsequently added sound (rattle) and weights to deeper diving floater divers when fishing Toledo Bend. Caught numerous bass with these baits. I never messed with "Suspending" models of floater/divers (cranks) re. adding weight to lures. Whole 'nother ball game. Adding weight to these makes these baits suspend at deeper and deeper levels. IMO...
