Hard-back crabs

Iv only used peeler crabs when beach fishing as iv bought them, but can you use normal hard back crabs that you find in rocks as bait for beach fishing for bass and flat fish?

Like stylie said they are pretty good bait for wrasse. Ive never had anything else on them I think sticking with rag and lug for bass and the flatties would be better than the hardbacks.
