I just think that the smallest possible jig will cast better.

I guess nobody flies kites anymore, but think of the float as a kite and the line/jig below the float as the tail of the kite. A kite won't fly well with a heavy or bulky tail. A float is the same. So, I would pick a float and test to see how much weight it will support. Let's say it will support 1/4 oz. Then, I would put most of the weight near the float and let a small jig be the final bit of weight to balance it just the way you like it.
