I know many people like a jig under a float. My main issue with it is that you lose the direct connection to the jig. The jig hangs straight down from the float, and the line from rod to float is at an angle to that line. (The farther you cast, the closer that angle gets to 90 degrees). I don't want an angle between me and the fish. It creates slack line and makes hooking more difficult.
