Fishnbuddee,

A slow retrieve with a rod twitching action on a straight jig without a float is not only effective for silvers, but works well on steelhead too (especially for summers).

I also have taken to using the Thill 'Steelheader' clip on float so I can quickly change from adjustable fixed float fishing to drift fishing a jig in faster water without a float. First Cast jigs are good for this because the brass bead heads won't chip; or snag up as often.

Both those non-float methods work with feathered jigs and rubber worms in jigheads.
