Okay, I thought I had posted in the wrong thread (see below) so I deleted my post , but know I know I couldn't possibly have posted in the wrong thread. How did you edit your post without having the "message edited by" thing below your post, smelt? Maybe I'm just seeing things tonight because of my dang ankle? Oh, well, here's my original post, anyway.
"Hey, how come your moniker in your post (EggsGuy)is different than the one shown on the main screen (smeltmyfingerling?)? Anyway, welcome! Just ignore RT and Gooose and they will go away. :p J/K As far as the foam floats go, most of us on this BB affectionately refer to them as "dick floats now."
Technically they're called dink floats. Apparently these work well with bait in heavier water and will work with jigs. Only thing is, you have to get it up-you need to use enough lead to make it "erect" on the surface of the water. As far as setting it up, I'd thread the dink on first going through the top hole, then through the two hole in the middle, and then through the bottom hole. Then, I'd push it up the line, tie on a snap swivel just below it and attach desired weight slinky/pencil lead to the snap, cut a piece of leader, tie that to the snap, and tie on your jig/hook for bait. You might be able snap on a bunch of split shot below the bobber instead of using the snap/lead, but it would have to be an awful lot of split shot, from my experience. That's if you want it fixed. If you want it sliding, I believe there's foam dink floats for that too. Same setup I would assume only use a bobber stopper above the float and put on a bead between the float and the snap swivel. I'm not a pro bobber fisherman, but did I come close guys? Don't bash me too hard.

As far as making dink floats "erect", you'd better talk to RT about that one.
