There is a lot to be said for buoyant fishing lures. For one, when you are fishing a river you can cast them upstream and then float them back down under branches and undercuts and all sorts of places you can't otherwise get a lure to.
Then there's the crisp, strong pulsing action that only comes when you have a buoyant fishing lure.
They also tend to be more snag proof - just keep your rod tip high and drop it to the water the instand you feel the lure strike something solid.
They can be twitched on the surface to attract attention before starting the retrieve, allowed to drop back and cause a tailing fish to strike in self defence or even 'blooped' across the surface as a topwater lure.
And of course, you can add little slivers of lead to the trebles until you get a perfect suspending or neutrally buoyant fishing lure that just 'hangs' when you pause the retrieve - that's just perfect for fooling wily old bream and bass.
