[#0000ff]Definitely NOT new. I was using this (with spinning tackle) on the middle Provo during the early 60's. That was in the days when there were still big fish there.
I have since used it all over the western states, in both flowing and still waters...and in the surf of the ocean for a variety of species.
Here is a diagram I once made for fishing it with spinning tackle. But it can be adjusted for fly fishing and for your choice of fly patterns and distances between flies and weight.

EDIT: One thing that has not been mentioned is that you should always set the hook downstream. Fish take it facing upstream and if you pull upstream or across you have a greater chance of pulling the fly out of its mouth.
