The fish should hook itself well before then ?? the lead should only break free once you strike with the rod, same as any other rig.
By lifting the lead above the fish it gives the benefit that it's lifted clear of weed covered rocks at the edge & also lets you hold a fish in shallow water, waiting for a wave to help beach it, without falling to the bottom where it might snag
