This also allows a very specific trick when using such rigs. The last
part of the leader is finer tippet. A "Tuck" cast is used on the final
delivery. This allows very precise placement of the weight and a
vertical entry with some force, driving the fly down to its operating
depth very quickly.

The "tuck cast" and more or less the same rig you are describing is
explained here;
