I keep an open mind to all strategies in the sport fishing arena and never shrug off anothers method unless it's illegal.
Bass fishermen call it float n fly fishing.
Steelhead fisherman call it bobber dogging.
Trout fisherman call it float or bubble fishing.
Pan fishermen call it bobber fishing.
Fly fishermen call it indicator fishing.
Europeans label it float fishing and they are experts at it.
They've been employing floats in their angling sports a long time. They sponsor both European and World float fishing competitions:

To each their own and what works for them.

I prefer a jig or a bladed jig (road runner ) most of the time how ever my #1 go to farm pond has a solid grass/moss covered bottom . It becomes difficult to stay above (moss ) it as summer gets closer . A small float allows to fish slower and above the moss . In deeper water I remove float normally . Where you fish will change your techniques . I love a sandy / small gravel lake so a 1/64 or 1/32 squirrel tail jig can be crawled across the bottom . Want happen in the farm pond . :twocents
These fish were all caught on small jigs fished under a fixed weighted float this spring. Fished 2' to 6' deep. The jigs weight in the 1/64 oz range. The weighted floats are comet brand 3/4" diameter and bought at Wal mart. When fish leave shallows they don't work. Those are 6" deck boards.
