Hey, around here, the only time a lizard really produces is when fished on the top. I've tryed fishing them t-rigged plenty of times, and never have any great results. But if you rig them weightless/weedless and burn them over the top of weed mats, or along shorelines they produce pretty well. So that is what I plan to do with this lizard if I do buy a pack.

I have used the ragetail chunks many times, and they're actually one of my all time favorite jig trailers, along with the ragetail craw which not only worked t-rigged flipping/pitching, but also worked well slowly twitched on the top of weed mats. I was able to peg a bullet weight which was just light enough not to break the weed mats, so when I came to any upcoming weeds, I could lift the bait off the bottom, and start crawling it ontop of the thick muck, like you would a hollow frog.

Well, back to the lizard, by the looks of it, it seems the feet are made with the same design as the chunk/craw, and those claws showed some amazing action. I assume the lizard due to the same design in the feet, will wiggle the same as the chunk/craw's claws did, is this true? If this is true, it makes me think this bait would swim great over the top, with all 4 feet swimming, along with the curly tail in the back kicking about.

My main question to you guys, is to anyone who has had the chance to fish this bait, particularly on the top. How does it perform on the top? Does it turn on its back much, or does it stay on its belly like you'd hope it to? It doesn't spin when brought over the top does it? Is the action good when burning it on the top? Can't wait to hear the responses, seems like the ragetail lizard would make an incredible topwater lizard if it carrys the same traits as does the craw/chunk.

If you go to the Rage Tail site you can watch videos of the baits. The lizard has some awesome action.  If you like the chunk and craw, try the lobsters, they have been producing extremely well for me.

BFM, I have fished the Rage lizard Tx rig, Carolina Rig and weightless. Although I haven't burned it or run it on top....I have had great success weightless slowly retrieving it (extremely slow) over grass and moss beds with short pauses. Fished like this, you won't question a strike...they pound it.
