Lizard Bait
SpecializedBeginnerFreshwater
A soft plastic shaped like a lizard, historically a classic Carolina-rig or Texas-rig trailer for bass. Its wriggling legs and tail have long made it a favorite around bedding fish protecting their spawn.

Technique tips
- Fish it on a Carolina rig to cover bottom quickly while still giving the trailer a natural, free-swimming look.
- Drop it right in a visible bed and let it sit — bedding bass often strike out of instinct to move it away, not hunger.
- Drag it slowly along the bottom rather than hopping it — the legs and tail need time moving through the water to work.
