You'll run a weight off of a dropper. I prefer to use a sliding rig for my weights. That way if my buddy misses the fish with the net and gets the weight the fish can still run. Trust me you will lose a fish to this if you don't run a slider. You can usually hold running 4-6 oz when fishing for springers. Use a 18-24" dropper line and you'll be in the zone.

Good luck
