Ya it might work if u have enough line.U have to let the line get beyond the fish so any tension the fish feels is now from behind him.
Jim has talked about this technique with me a few times.I have not had the balls to try it yet.I'm a clamp down on the spool guy an hope I have em hooked in a good spot.The way i see it if they are hooked poorley u'll never get em up tide in the current anyways..
I have a few cows in the full bore 5 plus kts.Jim has way more..I have also lost some fish that made me cry..It's all part of it u take ur lumps an get out of there.Tie ur leaders short like 18 inches there are spots u will not have the room on the backcast for much longer..
I use 30 lb Fireline an 40 lb leader..
