eastkybass Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I have a couple of questions about this. What colors do you use and how are you rigging them? I mostly use spinnerbaits in the spring but I want to try to increase my chances and have seen alot of posts saying that people are using them and was just wondering about this. Thanks Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted February 13, 2007 Super User Posted February 13, 2007 When I fish lizards in the spring, I always Texas rig them. My most productive colors have been electric blue, red shad, watermelon. Hope this helps, Falcon Quote
Super User Catt Posted February 13, 2007 Super User Posted February 13, 2007 Stanley Wedge Tail Lizards in Watermelon/Neon, Black/Blue, or Black/Neon; Texas Rigged for shallow water (15' or less) and Carolina Rigged for deeper water. Quote
RottManK9 Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I fish em' weightless, and use an Electric Blue, the only color I've ever used! Quote
ABA CAST CHAMP 2006 Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I like the Powerbait 6" pumpkin/chartreuse lizard rigged texas style, with a 1/4oz. weight or weightless, especially in the shallow areas like the backs of coves or where the new vegetation emerges in the spring time, crawling the lure along with some short slow hops.

Triton21 Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 eastkybass, I have caught a TON of bass in Cave Run on Watermelon Chartruse Zoom lizard. It works on all the lakes I fished when I lived in E. KY., ie, Yatesville, Paintsville, Dewey, Panbowl, Laurel ect, ect. Kelley Quote

bigdog Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I use a lot of different styles of lizzards but the colors don't differ much, watermelon,pumkinseed,ones with chartruse tails,brown with black flakes.You'll find a variety of different colors work pick one and try. Quote
CrazedL.IFisherman Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Any lizard basically does the trick, i like them with extra scent though so when the bass bash them ;D, they will hold on longer, my favorite color by far is black neon Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted February 14, 2007 Super User Posted February 14, 2007 The lizard is not just a spring bait. I use them in summer at night. They are killers at night on a t-rig or c-rig. I fish black,green pumpkin chart. junebug,red shad, :o ;) :) Quote
BassBeat101 Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I don't know what it is about the chartreuse pepper Zoom lizard, but it just seems to be a pretty consistent fish catcher for me. It's kinda my confidence bait that I use on occasion - generally I like the lizards in redbug. Daryl Quote
jomatty Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 carolina rigged ive fallen in love with the 3x lizards. the way they slowly float up off the bottom and then swim down when you move the bait is incredible. that is about the only way i use lizards is on the c rig. matt Quote
Rattlinrogue Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Yes,lizards!Year around really but especially good during spring.I use Zoom and 3X depending on what I want to do.Watermelon,green pumpkin,and black w/blue tail are my favorites.Black w/blue is very underated IMO. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted February 15, 2007 Super User Posted February 15, 2007 Black with a blue tail ZOOM lizard for me YR round cept water below 40 deg Quote
BOOYAH Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Berkley (smoke/red/glitter) works every time ;D Quote
hi_steel_basser Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 You find a wrong way to fish a lizard in the spring, post it here. I use them t-rig, c-rig, on a jighead, as a jig trailer, weightless, and intend to use one on a drop shot this spring. My fave colors run the gamut from GP to pumpkin chartreuse to junebug to watermelon to PB&J to black. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted February 15, 2007 Super User Posted February 15, 2007 Zoom lizard black with a blue tail, texas rigged with a 4/0 EWG Gami. hook and a 3/16 bullet weight. This is a bass killer anytime of the year. Quote
NaterD Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Watermelon/Chartruse is what I've had the most success with (wieghtless). I just started getting into bass fishing last year late spring... The lizard (zalemander) or as my buddies and I call her, "The Sally" was my go to bait as well. I've got a cool success story for you lizard lovers out there ................Last summer I was on a vacation in Northern Michigan and I was just wading around casting a weightless lizard in some tall grass (that grass that comes way out of the water like giant dune grass) and my brother was just listening to the radio on the pontoon boat (he wasn't yet a bass addict) and he noticed a lot of ruckus coming from my general area... I was in the process of reelin in a 3.5 pounder while half underwater myself. He was impressed seeing that pig do a bunch of acrobatics like excited bass do and i proceeded to reel in a few more. Upon my arrival to the boat he said "come on, lets go to the store. I need to buy a pole" So, in the end... i acredit the lizard for making yet another fellow bass fisherman! good luK! Quote
