I have never used them but have seen magazine articles about them. They look weird. I broke down and ordered a 80 bucks worth of jigs to try them out. I have been an old school bait guy for tog. I can't imagine them working in deeper water > 30' with a current because with a crab on the hook it will kite out...I normally use an 8 oz +/- sinker to hold bottom with a crab with a strong current.

Another thing is some guys use circle hooks. I am going to try that and I have always gone for a quality sharp 4/0 J hook. I rigged up a few with circles. Plan to use them with a berkley peeler crab. Those suckers work and stay on the hook for like 4+ fish. I figured it would work on a soft dead sick rod and a circle hook while I try the jig out.
