Yes that is usualy the prefered method for flatfish (flounder, sole etc). A dropshot type sinker seems more common, but the banana weight would work. Need to troll very slow, use about a 5 foot leader with a spinner and hook (number 2 to 4) tipped with a sea worm or other sutable bait (herring strip pieces would work). While slow trolling about 6 " off the bottom: slowly lift the rod up and down so that the weight bumps the bottom (like you might do for halibut).
