Wow! I got a lot of responces with this one. A lot of fishermen are obviously float fishing. Just 5 or 6 years ago, seemed like I was one of the only ones, at least here in Oregon.

The one variable that I haven't seen discussed much and that I'm most curious about is current. As a long-term fixed-float guy, I'm wondering if faster (winter steelhead-type) currents on bigger rivers are a liability with slip floats (will the pull of the current on the line raise the jig off the bottom in a fast run)?
