I'm not sure why you would say this. If a crappie bites your jig and rises in the water, the float will also rise. It has to rise, since part of the weight that was balancing it is no longer registering on the float. Wagglers are designed to show lift bites, and they do it better than any other float on the market.

Yes, I use split shot, and I don't miss any lift bites. Wagglers are the float for seeing lift bites. Accept no substitutes.

Besides, look at what you wrote before:

This tells me you're not using enough weight. You either need:

a) a bigger jig or

b) some split shot above the jig.
