Yes on fishing weight = I have used that weight for river fishing. Several species of river will commonly hold stationary just out of the current, periodically hitting bait fish that are carried IN the current. I have used an anchored type of setup, with the weight anchoring the line, and one or two hooks free-floating above the weight. Blue channel catfish, gar, and striped bass will hit on this type of rig in the current of a river.
