Proof is in the pudding![laugh]
If you fish for cat that are hanging at a 20' mark and IF you had a chironomid that interested then, it could be fun. Wether the 20' leader is straight down or right out in front of you makes no difference, it still does the same job.
Like Phil Rowley fishes Chironomids with probably a 4' leader and a fast sinking line, straight down from tip of rod. Mine are on a 20' piece of whatever weight mono/fluoro, attached to a floating line with about 30' of line out in front of me floating. Indicator of course. That way I can drift over the honey hole without them knowing I am even there.
