So I haven't really thrown these in probably 15 years of so having opted for brush hog type baits instead. Anybody still throwing these? Brands? Colors? Thanks in advance for the replies

Oh yes, green pumpkin on a 3/0 EWG Gammie with a 3/16 slip sinker during spawn.  Bass hate a lizard lurking around their spawing grounds.

I still throw em every once in awhile, and yes they still work   tx rig or Carolina rig

 

Same colors I throw in other baits: Tilapia, Green pumpkin, etc... I of course use Big Bite (the 8" Kriet Tail Lizard is awesome) but you really can't go wrong with a lizard no matter who makes it

I use them for Carolina rig’s exclusively. 
For working a regular t rig I have better luck using other options

I throw them all the time, t-rigged....year 'round.  Favorites are 6" Power lizards in black, Twister lizards, both 4" and 6" in grape w/red flake, black w/ yellow dots.  I also have a treasured supply of BPS spring lizards from long ago.  My favorite is mean green.

6" zoom lizards is what I use!  Tequila Sunrise, Junebug, Black and Blue, and a few other colors.

I use them still, I have a pack of Zoom Lizards in green pumpkin I throw on a Texas rig with a 3/0 offset round bend hook.

I use to throw them more than worms . When I was fishing tourneys a six inch lizard seemed to draw more strikes from those 15 to 18 inch fish I was after . They probably didnt  catch keepers  any better than worms but in my mind they did . I still use them  . I use the same colors with worms , lizards , craws .... Zoom lizards in purples and browns are my primary colors  . How I make a selection on what to throw ,? its usually just whatever I feel like .  If I want a slower rate of fall , I'll tie one on in lieu of a worm and use the same weight . 

Zoom lizards on a C-rig are a staple of mine in the warmer months.

Are you talking about the smooth , six inch , skinny ones . I still have a bunch of those .

I don’t fish them as much as I use to but I’m always ready to throw a Zoom lizard or brush hog. 

I fish 5 and 6" zoom lizards on a Carolina rig, and 4" Yum and Zoom lizards on a drop shot. 2 years ago a 4" lizard on a drop shot caught me a lot of fish.

No, these were ringed, 6" , came in 5 or 6 colors.

Been throwing Zoom lizards for many years.....favorite is cotton candy chartreuse especially for SM.

Rage lizards do great in the spring 

I like to throw a zoom lizard in watermelon red flake.

In the water it looks a lot like a red stopped newt, which is a popular salamander in our lakes and ponds on the eastern coast.

Zoom 4" lizard in chartreuse pumpkin on an 18" dropshot is very effective for a month every spring for me.

This is the perfect time of year to fish with lizards. 

Here's a weird thing about the creeks I fish. I can take the 6" Zoom lizard in green pumpkin or watermelon red and catch lots of smallmouth. If I use the exact same lure and color in a 4" I struggle or only catch the skunk. The most interesting aspect is that if I matched the hatch in my waters it would have to be the lil salamander in the above posts so I would need the 4". It must be that the 6" produces a more enticing action?

Baby red spotted newt.

Thats right , the lizards I have are the old style  Squimin Lizard .

It is not very often I use a lizard. When I do it is a Zoom 6" lizard in green pumpkin, watermelon seed, june bug. I usually have better luck with baby brush hogs.

I have a Plano 3700 with nothing but liz-zards!

 

Early pre-spawn, 12' to the buck brush, Texas Rigged, 3/16 oz, 3/0 offset round bend.

HMM...

 

The Rage Lizard is one of my most effective soft plastics.
