Usually, if you balance your rod/reel/line setup to your tackle, you should be able to cast sufficiently far even with light jigs and lures.
That being said, I can't afford to have 500 rods like TubeDude does, so I just use the 2 spinning rods I have for everything.
If you fish from a tube or toon, you usually do not need to cast very far to get into the fishies. Sometimes from shore you do. You just have to do what works best for you. If you need more weight to get to the fishies, you might sacrifice some sensitivity, but at least you'll be in the zone. If you can make do without the weight, all the better.
Hope that helps.
