Float and jig is very effective, and very easy, which is why you see so many beginners using it, and why you see virtually every guide who has fishermen good enough to pass on pulling plugs throwing things out there with boobers on them...

But...I suspect it rates higher on the "I'm better than you" scale solely because it is a LOT more like a particular style of "flyfishing" (purposely in quotes) than are the rest...

You will find far, far more proficient jig/boober fishermen than spoon or driftfishermen because it is far, far easier to do...

Fish on...
