Plastic Lizards

Plastic lizards are versatile lures that mimic live salamanders or newts. Many anglers believe these creatures are predators of bass eggs and that they provoke an aggressive response from bedding bass. Like plastic worms, lizards can be rigged in a number of ways.

PLASTIC LIZARDS vs. PLASTIC WORMS: Although plastic lizards are similar in many ways to plastic worms, these differences should be noted: 1. The plastic lizard is a bulkier lure. It is therefore heavier and easier to cast when unweighted, and easier for the bass to see when visibility is limited. 2. The plastic lizard has more action. Besides its tail, it has four legs which writhe when the lure moves. 3. The plastic lizard resembles a salamander, which is thought to be an egg predator of bedding bass.

WHEN TO FISH PLASTIC LIZARDS: Spring is regarded as prime time for lizard fishing by most anglers. However, this lures can also be fished successfully in summer and fall as well, especially on a Carolina rig. In early spring, lizards are usually best when the water is stained to murky. However, you should also try lizards in clear 65 to 75 degree water when bass are bedding or holding around flooded bushes.
