Not sure if this is what you mean, but I do it all of the time with bombers or mambos in an outflow. Just let them sit in the current and do their thing.

i caught my first striper doing this under a bridge back when i was like 7.. i figured well if moving water makes the shad look like its swimming.. should work with a current. no sooner did i stop it and let it sit in the current then did a 22" bass nail it.. now the only problem i had then was between the current and the power of the fish.. i was a bit out gunned weight wise.. luckily the guy who let me use one of his rods and shads came to the rescue and held me back from falling under the bridge..
two main factors i believe why it's so effective.. one it appears to be a small fish in trouble. it's struggling to make it up current. and would appear to be losing the battle. thus making it appear weaker/exhausted and unable to escape.
two.. if the water is being channeled through a small area to an opening on the other side.. the fish will stay off to the sides of the current(behind bridge pylons for example) waiting for the above, and even weaker fish to be washed through and right into their faces. or if its open water, they will hide behind rocks/other structure or in the pockets of non moving water and do the same.
of course you will always get the cruisers too. who just happen to be passing by while riding the current and cant resist an easy meal.
just think if slow moving prey is tempting.. non moving prey is even better.
anyway.. i try it when i can get a good current. letting the current take it out as far as i can allow. with a lose drag so as to keep some tension on it and make it swim. hopefully it will find its way next to a pocket.
