The floats you talk about are called "Comal" floats or bobbers. I think is refers to the name of the designer. Usually foam and weighted or non weighted and slip or spring.

My favorite is the Comal pear shaped one and a half inches long (the float portion) and the long strike indicator sticking out the top. It gives you great "jigging" action and less resistance on setting the hook in my experience.
