In what cases would you use a buoyant lure, such as a spinner made partially from floating components?

[Easywater]

There are "crank-bait" lures that skip across the surface of the water.
Used in catching bass, pike and similar fish.

I am thinking more about spinners:



Instead of a lead weight, the body is made of buoyant foam.

I wonder if this would be good for trout of salmon when used with a carolina rig.

This particular spinner and those like it are intended for trolling with bait, particularly worms, for trout and walleye.  I think the foam is intended to make the whole thing neutrally buoyant once you add a worm.  A similar spinner without the foam, the wedding ring, is intended for trolling for trout and kokanee but can also be cast for coho and pinks, rigged with a long leader to a 3 way swivel and a dropper weight.
