Something I've done on a regular basis since switching to baitcasting gear decades ago, is to use slip bobbers as a means to control the depth  of my presentation.  I'd done it prior to then when walleye fishing and ended up with some nice catches of bass. 

Those big, baseball bat floats that you see a lot of cat fishermen using work fantastic with wacky rigged worms or small curly tailed grubs on jig heads and you can cast the set-up a country mile.  You don't need to concern yourself with sensitivity as all hits ar visible and you can maintain exact depth coverage throughout your retrieve. 

This is how I've taught many beginners to present something to suspended fish and also as a way to learn depth control during a retrieve.  Their ability to make a long cast has kept the interest of some young anglers long enough for them to actually catch some fish.
