Nope, I saw one setup very clearly and the wireworm was right against the bottom of the slip float as they were casting, they didn't even use a swivel to separate the wireworm and mainline.

I do wonder about the affect the sinker has on detecting strikes with the float. What size float are you using? I bought some 3/8" pencil and 1 1/8" oval Thill floats. Everyone seemed to be using the larger 1 or 1 1/8" ones and it was too windy to try with the pencils on the weekend. I think I might have had one brief tug as my float very briefly pointed a different direction against the wind but wasn't sure if that was a rogue wave.
