Yes, they are even better in rocks than sand although you need to pay a bit more attention to speed or retreive and size. Sand is a lot more forgiving.
This. Though I will give a shout out to Blue Frog 1 oz. bucktails.

For the inlets I use from 3/4 oz to 2.5 oz White you need just enough weight that you are just gliding over the bottom and will still sink into the holes). 3+ oz. I save for storm or heavy sweep conditions. If back bay, beach, or back of an inlet, 3/4 oz. white or chartreuse.

I do like the Red color rind with my white bucktails but I doubt it matters. Usually I'm lazy and will just use white grub tails on everything.

Retrieval like, Zeno said. Though there are times where you can use a 6" weighted Tsunami shad just like the bucktail and it will outproduce...
