That's exactly right. Instead of the bait preceding the weight, it follows it as you drift and the weight drags across the bottom. I found this online
"There are some basic methods for pier fishing, plus some advanced techniques. The more common rigs are simple bait rigs such as the dropper loop or double dropper loop, with hooks in loops and a weight at the bottom. Reverse dropper loops are also used to allow a light bait to flutter around right on the bottom. A reverse dropper loop consists of a hook tied to the end of the line and a weight suspended from a dropper loop about 18 inches up the line."

Good question.
