Mate I don't personally use them but yes they would work 100% IMO.... I say that because they act as a scrap bit of bait when your down to the last bit of bait on your hook. So when you have had a good hit and loose your bait the fish will still be interested cause there's still more on offer. So I recon they are good especially if your fishing smaller baits like mullet or hussar fillets And when trying to fish through the pickers there's still bait on offer for the larger predators to come in and have a crack..
