How To Fish And Rig Zoom 6" Lizards

[gunsndrums1]

I was wondering how to fish these zoom lizards. They are the 6 inch super salty in green pumpkin with purple green flake. Ive never fished soft plastics before but i was reading up on it and with lizards i think theyll be best during all phases of the spawn. I learned to basically just fish it near shore and along beds can be deadly. Most of my curiosity is how to rig them. I have some gamakatsu 4/0 offset shank hooks, i see a lot of videos of people rigging soft plastics with larger hooks. I was also curious if you can rig it on a jig head (does jig head color matter) I have smaller jig heads in size 6 since i do not fish exclusively bass and i felt that this was a good all around size hook for all different species of fish. Thanks everyone!

Texas Rigged or Carolina Rigged

3/0 hook is big enough

Fish em slow

I'd go 3/0 also. That particular color Zoom lizard and size is one of my favorite baits period. It's a good fish catcher in all the seasons .Texas rigged I generally go with a 3/16 or 1/4 ounce weight. I prefer not to peg the weight . I think it will get more hits and the fish will hold on longer. Zoom lizards are very popular on C rigs .

I will also fish them on a weighted hook and swim them along the bottom.It is a killer from pre-spawn all the way to late summer!!!!

I T-Rig mine with a  4/0 EWG Gami. and a 3/16 ounce bullet weight.

I use a smaller hook than some use, a 2/0 or 3/0 EWG, since the bait is relatively thin. I often bedfish with them weightless and let it sit on the bed until the female can't stand it anymore and picks it up. They are also great for rigging a pegged weight to for heavy grass or pitchin/flippin. Don't forget a carolina rig or finesse carolina rig, either. They are very versatile lures.

How many rig hook sideways vs. straight up & down ?

I wouldn't put them on a small jighead. It can be done, but you will not have as good of a hookup ratio.

4/0 Texas rigged with pegged 1/4 oz weight. Drop it in or near weed line and go slooooowwwww

Tex, pegged tex, carolina, as well as a shakey head have worked for me.

Sounds like you got a good lizard and a good hook to start with. Use a bullet weight for a T-rig and a swivel and an egg weight for a C-rig and you're good to go! A jig head will work, but I prefer the aforementioned rigging techniques.

They work good as a topwater also across pads or slop go slow
