You just need some more time float fishing. If you go plunkin' down a weight like that in some places and you're just not going to get much action. Sometimes the fish are turned on to the jigs and you can get away with throwing lead and only hanging 5 feet off your float, but that's not going to work every time.

I most often use a Thill float and an 1/8 oz jig, so I'm using a spinning reel most of the time too. Last year in the cold, low water we destroyed fish when guys not making a stealthy delivery weren't finding much action.
