Zoom Lizards

First off the Zoom lizard is the best Carolina rig bait ever. Others are better at times but this one works everywhere and is still the best. I also fish a lizard on a Texas rig in the spring it seems to get a lot of bites in the spring and has a lot of action. But we all know the lizard is good in the spring and on a Carolina rig. But for me the lizard was my first swimbait before I knew what a swimbait was. My all time favorite pond bait was a weightless lizard. I caught a lot of fish letting it sink slowly but I caught some nice fish swimming it in clear water as well. I would slowly reel it in and I would see fish come up from behind and follow it and eventually eat it, well most of the time. At the small lake where I caught my personal best 7+ Largemouth I once had a bass close to the same size as my 7+ follow my lizard 15ft and turn around 10ft from the boat. If my boat was sitting a little deeper maybe I would have caught it maybe not. Point is try a weightless lizard as the ultimate finesse swimbait sometime. They land soft without making a big splash making them ideal for shallow water and spooky bass. And no weedless swimbait will give you the hooking % a lizard will. One color I always like for swimming was baby bass. I don't use a weightless lizard as much anymore but if I was fishing clear shallow water around spooky bass I would still put one on. sb-mrbassky1
