I guess I must be totally retro. I have always been pretty happy using the old round red and white plastic bombers with the spring loaded clip. You can get them in many sizes to work with whatever jig weight you are using. They can be fished as either a fixed or slip bobber depending on how you set the clip. They have a single point of contact under the bobber. Never had any trouble casting them if they were sized appropriately for the rest of the tackle. Never had any problem detecting a hit. I guess everybody laughs at me fishing with those things when I use a bobber.
