A friend gave me an old lizard lure, that I had GREAT luck with until a catfish swallowed it. I cant seem to find what brand it was. The head and body were almost flat, the eyes were slight raised up from the head. They were just two little dots. The head was round, not pointy like the typical zoom lizard, etc. Also just after the head it had 2 or 3 "rings" before the body, for the neck area. It had a ribbon tail like a culprit worm. The legs were extremely thin. This thing had amazing action. The slightest bit of rod tip movement made it swim back and forth like crazy. My friend doesnt rememebr the name of it either, just that it was some old lure he found lying around the shed.

Anyone know?

Pictures would be helpful

I wish I had one. I'll make a drawing of it and post that.

Alright I'm not an artist but here's what it looked like.

Your kidding,right?

Haha, sorry man that's all I got. That one lure was the only one I had. Like I said it was found in a shed, could have been 10 years old for all I know. I think this mystery will go unsolved. Thanks for your reply's though.

was it a soft plastic that you had to rig? was it hard plastic? did it come prerigged? what length was it?

Don't feel bad , this world is full of unsolved mysteries , just add yours to the top of the pile.

Not to make in front of you,but man that drawing made my day......I was laughing pretty hard to be honest.

Gambler Loco Lizard? It is kind of like you described with the rings around the neck and the ribbontail. The Loco Lizard is a little different than your picture in that it has paddled feet.

Yeah it was a soft plastic lure, I'd say either 5 or 6".

Haha, hey I warned you guys before the drawing. The lure actually did look similar though, the head was perfectly round, about the size of a dime. The body was pretty thin and flat. Oh well. If I ever figure it out I'll post what it was on here.

The closest thing I have found would be the body of a Berkley original power lizard (not the crazy legs version) but with a round head like a Lunker City mud dog.

Can my son use that pic for show and tell?

Just bustin on ya.

Sure. It's a pretty sweet pic, took me about 3 hours to do the shading on the neck.

Here's the only real picutre I have of the lure, but you can't see it because it's in the catfishes belly.

I laughed pretty hard too, especially after I read the next post after it.

It's a Rebel Ringnecked Lizard. But good luck finding anymore of them since they were made right around 1985 and are no longer in production.

Or could be the Rebel RedNeck Lizard. Only picture I could find. http://www.ebay.com/itm/REBEL-Redneck-Color-C-Lector-soft-bait-plastic-lizard-/110744320944

Definitely not the redneck lizard, i'll see if i can find a pic of the ringneck, that very well could be it, thanks for the lead!

I found it!!

could it also be the old flap tail lizards?

That picture is almost as informative as your drawing.

Somebody said this is just another mystery, but I'm pretty sure we've actually SOLVED a mystery. Perhaps you've heard of the Loch Ness Monster...?

Id cut it out of that fish in a heart beat especially if its the only one I had how many catfish are there a hundreds how many baits one .fish has got to die.

id go look at website soft plastics.

BPS and TW come to mind.
