I love fishing lizards and I have a LOT of success fishing them just like I fish a worm. I like to use both t-rig and c-rig.

I've never used a lizard. Do you guys use them all season?

I usuallyuse them in spring, but I've been known to drag a few in the summer.  I like to let the wind catch my boat and throw them out on a c-rig.  I think it's an excellent bait to drag.

I fish lizards year round.  For years I quit even carrying other "worms" since the lizards worked as good or better, year round, in my waters.  I have never found a body of water (including saltwater) where a lizard didn't work.

t-rig (weighted and unweighted) and c-rig

Did you read the c-rig tips sticky at the top of the page?  There are pages and pages of good info and most people's descriptions of how they rig and fish it.

Lizards work wonders in the rivers around here.  I typically t-rig them with a 3/16 or 1/4 oz bullet sinker depending on the current, and fish them slow.  

like so...

Nice info, I just got some from *** and am ready to try them out in the morning.

Thanks for the good info,

I agree that a lizard is pretty much a plastic worm, and so can be fished anyway a worm can.  It was the standard Carolina rig bait for years.  Still probably used more for that presentation than any other.  The rigging pics posted above are excellent.
