I guess you could call it plunking lol, when the current takes ur bait downstream I know what your talking about ;-)
First off, I actually tried this rig for sturgeon off the bank, complete waste of time, the hot dog kept coming off, im sure it could work easier on a boat, cuz on the bank i kept trying to cast far...and like troutier said, its just too damn big, unless the carp have literally no fishing pressure...
Iv'e tried smaller cuts of hot dog, dipped and cured with stinky stuff, but it didn't work well for the first hour nighttime at salish....then tried the hair rigged bread ball...got my first carp 33" long
