Do they work well?

I do great with a grass jig/beaver and a swim jig/paddle tail almost all year long.  Bladed jigs are not my confidence bait, but I do best with them at night.

A skirted bass jig is one of the most proven baits made. Bladed jigs have been one of the hottest baits since their introduction, almost always a factor on the tournament scene when there's a shallow water bite. I'd never hit the water without a bunch of both. 

I wouldn't consider either of those lures snag less, but yes I always have a pitching jig, swimming jig, bladed jig on a rod at all times. 

 

Depends on the jig. Choose your jig to match the conditions. Each style of jig has been designed to excel for particular situations. 

Snagless jigs are fishless.😎

I've never seen a jig or bladed jig that is completely weedless.  If I'm fishing in weedy cover I'll try a swim jig or a small size bottom contact jig that can be popped free.
