Since I have a favorite stretch of river that I frequently fish with floats and know the depth I'll be fishing, I pre-tie up my floats and jigs and inline slinky for quick replacement when I hang up and lose one, (usually on a low hanging alder branch on the far side of the river from casting into a tight spot). I use a leader from the top swivel of the slinky, through the float and long enough to give me a couple of feet of adjustment for depth and tie on a swivel. I tie the mainline to this swivel.

Each rig is stored in a ziplock bag, ready to fish.

If I do lose a rig, it is much faster to replace than having to rethread a float and retie gear.
