• Abstract: Violations of Bell inequalities are a hallmark of entanglement, with only entangled states capable of exceeding classical bounds in standard Bell tests. Here we analyze anomalous weak values of the CHSH operator in pre- and post-selected (PPS) quantum ensembles, treating them as generalized bounds on Bell-type nonlocal correlations in the presence of post-selection. Fixing the overlap between the pre- and post-selected states, we compare three scenarios: unrestricted boundary states, one separable boundary state, and both boundary states separable. For each case, we derive both the maximal weak value for a fixed Bell operator and the maximal bound obtained by further optimizing over all CHSH operators. Our results show that post-selection and entanglement are distinct operational resources: post-selection alone can enhance correlations, but entanglement is necessary to exceed the corresponding separable PPS bounds, and their combination yields the strongest attainable correlations. We further show that the enhancement beyond the separable bound closely tracks the concurrence of the states that optimize the bounds, identifying entanglement as the source of the additional correlation strength. Finally, we show that nonlocal weak values provide post-selected entanglement witnesses, and we give a constructive protocol that detects every pure two-qubit source state with nonzero concurrence in the ideal state-adapted setting, even in regimes where the corresponding standard CHSH entanglement test is inconclusive. In this state-adapted setting, we explicitly construct the post-selection and CHSH measurements that achieve the largest possible separation from the separable PPS bound. More broadly, our results motivate hybrid protocols that combine post-selection and entanglement, with possible applications to improved quantum sensing, weak-value amplification, and quantum information processing.
