To rig for Bobber Doggin/Float Drifting, rig a leader threaded float worm and usually with some kind of drift bobber.

Some think a weighted jig hook comes unhooked easier than a octopus hook, because of the weight leverage of the weighted jig hook.

If one prefers using octopus style hooks over weighted jig hooks, rig a leader threaded neutral/sink worm.

I like using bait weights (solid brass bead, Cheater weight, egg weight) with a leader threaded neutral/sink worm for suspended (1-2' above bottom) float fishing. Peg the bait weight and worm (mono. 1/16" barbed uni float stop knot) to stop scrunching.

My favorite bait weights are nickel plated solid brass beads (9/32", 11/32" & 3/8") that are painted with transparent Dick Nite Fishermun's Lure-Coat (two coats/dips) and CS Coatings UV Blast (one coat/dip). The nickel bleeds through for an awesome uv candy color. These can also be used for jig heads with an 18 X 1" escutcheon pin.
