If 'yes', what results? Any tips on how you fished them? I like the looks of them and of course, would value their durability

Caught walleye on them, but I was at a location that I don't think it mattered what you jigged in front of them, they were going to hit it. Didn't fish them at other locations so I don't know how they would do under normal circumstances. I think the Gulp Leeches look better in appearance compared to the ZMAN leeches. The durability of ElaZtech is a plus. I will be taking some on my next trip.

I'll be fishing in mid-August..deeper reefs and rockpiles, shoreline ledges, etc. Often fishing 15-25 feet deep. Seems like we find quite a few smallmouth mixed in with the walleye 'down there'. I was wondering about using the Elaztech leeches specifically to target smallmouth. Or for smallmouth, would you go with twister tails or tubes in those deep-structure conditions?

I like green pumpkin tubes for smallmouth and fake leeches for walleye. Both fish will hit both lures, but I think odds are you will catch more smallmouth with a tube.
