I've not caught any smallies on one yet, but I have had pretty good success with them on large mouths.

One thing, I don't consider this a deep water bait. It seems to come through cover extremely well, and is pretty weedless.

They tend to tear a large whole in the mouth of the fish. That obviously leads to the possibly of losing the fish in jumps. I would also suggest using a trailer hook. I had several short strikes, and believe I would have had more luck with the trailer hook.

I think it will be great fishing over grass beds.

I have thrown the white/chartruese so far exclusively. I also have one that is translucent with a bluish tint. I think this will also be good for this fall when the bait fish school in the bays and creeks.

Get a couple and try them, I personally believe you will like them.
