The only problem I have with bottom weighted floats is that they won't show a "lift bite". And regular floats, when you have a sinker on the line between the jig & float, won't show one either ... at least not unless the fish moves the sinker up high enough to remove the downward pull of the sinker against the float.

Now, there are floats made for just this situation. The FnF Bass boys use counter weighted bobbers, like Punisher Lures Bob's Bobber, which will sit upright from the weight of the jig ... then "fall over" on it's side when a lift bite occurs. But, at almost $3 each, and no more often than I use ANY kind of float, I don't own any of them.
