You end up with a dead zone... If you put split shot 1 foot above your jig, a fish can grab it and swim up 2 feet before you would ever feel it. Split shot work fine if you are swimming/trolling jigs and have constant contact with the rig, but fishing vert. or under a float, you get the dreaded dead zone!!!!! :p
