Lizard baits

[wvhunt]

I was fishing plastic lizards several years ago on a lake that I'd seen a ton of lizards in.  I never caught a fish, but kept pulling in other lizards wrapped around my plastic lizard.  I'm not sure it they were trying to mate with or fight my lizard.

Lizards are in my stack all year long. They catch fish and usually it is the larger ones. Yum's Carolina pumpkin chartreuse and a white Zoom lizard work for the pre spawn on thru the early fall for me.

I learned many years ago that there will more often or not be a preference by bass as to a shorter wide profile or a longer narrower profile.   I rig both types, beaver/craw style and brush hog style and let the fish tell me what they want.  If it’s longer/slender I’ll narrow it further and a lizard on a light sinker can be really good. It seems the style planes down rather than  drops full vertical.  Lastly, a twin tail green pumpkin lizard has been my best Carolina rig bait for smallmouth for ever.

I tried and tried using them when I was smallie fishing in Nc. I have never caught a fish on a lizard ever. I have several packs of zoom, I have moved them off the boat and in a tote in the shop. I haven’t even tried them here in Fl, but after reading this , I might give them another try. I have never seen one here in the St. John’s river

I only throw 6" Zoom lizard in cotton candy chartreuse.

They work well in clear water TR and drop shot in the spring.

Think I have one on a shaky head as well.
