Teh Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 A friend gave me an old lizard lure, that I had GREAT luck with until a catfish swallowed it. I cant seem to find what brand it was. The head and body were almost flat, the eyes were slight raised up from the head. They were just two little dots. The head was round, not pointy like the typical zoom lizard, etc. Also just after the head it had 2 or 3 "rings" before the body, for the neck area. It had a ribbon tail like a culprit worm. The legs were extremely thin. This thing had amazing action. The slightest bit of rod tip movement made it swim back and forth like crazy. My friend doesnt rememebr the name of it either, just that it was some old lure he found lying around the shed. Anyone know? Quote
Teh Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 I wish I had one. I'll make a drawing of it and post that. Quote
Teh Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 Alright I'm not an artist but here's what it looked like. Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted October 18, 2011 Super User Posted October 18, 2011 Your kidding,right? Quote
Teh Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 Haha, sorry man that's all I got. That one lure was the only one I had. Like I said it was found in a shed, could have been 10 years old for all I know. I think this mystery will go unsolved. Thanks for your reply's though. Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted October 18, 2011 Super User Posted October 18, 2011 was it a soft plastic that you had to rig? was it hard plastic? did it come prerigged? what length was it? Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted October 18, 2011 Super User Posted October 18, 2011 Don't feel bad , this world is full of unsolved mysteries , just add yours to the top of the pile. Quote
Super User grimlin Posted October 18, 2011 Super User Posted October 18, 2011 Alright I'm not an artist but here's what it looked like. Not to make in front of you,but man that drawing made my day......I was laughing pretty hard to be honest. Quote
piscicidal Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Alright I'm not an artist but here's what it looked like. Gambler Loco Lizard? It is kind of like you described with the rings around the neck and the ribbontail. The Loco Lizard is a little different than your picture in that it has paddled feet. Quote
Teh Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 Yeah it was a soft plastic lure, I'd say either 5 or 6". Haha, hey I warned you guys before the drawing. The lure actually did look similar though, the head was perfectly round, about the size of a dime. The body was pretty thin and flat. Oh well. If I ever figure it out I'll post what it was on here.

Teh Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 The closest thing I have found would be the body of a Berkley original power lizard (not the crazy legs version) but with a round head like a Lunker City mud dog. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted October 18, 2011 Super User Posted October 18, 2011 Can my son use that pic for show and tell? Just bustin on ya. Quote
Teh Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 Sure. It's a pretty sweet pic, took me about 3 hours to do the shading on the neck. Quote
Teh Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 Here's the only real picutre I have of the lure, but you can't see it because it's in the catfishes belly. Quote
Super User senile1 Posted October 18, 2011 Super User Posted October 18, 2011 Not to make in front of you,but man that drawing made my day......I was laughing pretty hard to be honest. I laughed pretty hard too, especially after I read the next post after it. Quote
Packard Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 It's a Rebel Ringnecked Lizard. But good luck finding anymore of them since they were made right around 1985 and are no longer in production. Quote
Packard Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Or could be the Rebel RedNeck Lizard. Only picture I could find. http://www.ebay.com/itm/REBEL-Redneck-Color-C-Lector-soft-bait-plastic-lizard-/110744320944 Quote
Teh Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 Definitely not the redneck lizard, i'll see if i can find a pic of the ringneck, that very well could be it, thanks for the lead! Quote
guitarkid Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 could it also be the old flap tail lizards? -gk Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted October 20, 2011 Super User Posted October 20, 2011 Here's the only real picutre I have of the lure, but you can't see it because it's in the catfishes belly. That picture is almost as informative as your drawing. Quote
basscrusher Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Somebody said this is just another mystery, but I'm pretty sure we've actually SOLVED a mystery. Perhaps you've heard of the Loch Ness Monster...? Quote
zip pow Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Id cut it out of that fish in a heart beat especially if its the only one I had how many catfish are there a hundreds how many baits one .fish has got to die. Quote
