In general, weak-lead bluffs suck.

I was playing $10/$20 at Foxwoods about a month ago when a friend of mine in the game made a weak-lead type play like that against a solid, tight, aggressive local player who saw right through it. She said something like "that weak-lead play is the oldest trick in the book. It never works."

In general, it's true. It just doesn't apply enough pressure. I've taken to calling river weak leads very, very liberally because they are so often missed drawing hands.
