This might be a dumb question, but has anyone tried using slip bobbers with artificial leeches/plastics in Quetico?

Certainly slip bobbers catch a lot of walleye but I haven’t tried an artificial leech. I assume those things are scented? Might want to look under some rocks for a bug or worm?

Just got back last week. Caught walleyes on slip bobber and gulp leeches and caught smallies and pike on various scented worms i bit off to shorten. I was just using jig under slip bobber.....may have done better with colored hook and some split shot but I was happy with what I got

So how'd those worms taste? :-)

I have a pack of Gulp leeches to use next week when we're up there. The beauty of live leeches is they wiggle like crazy and attract the fish to them. The artificial versions, of course, don't wiggle at all so providing some movement is important. At least they smell like bait. :)
