All right, guys.
Today, I'm here on behalf of all lizards all around the world, who are tired of being typecasted
as just bed fishing baits.
Now, granted they've earned that reputation because there are excellent way to trigger
those territorial female bass during the spawn.
However, these baits when this water temp starts to heat up out of the winter, these
fish are looking for big meals.
And that's exactly what these lizards mimic, with all the appendages, the big tail, they
really displace a lot of water and that really allows these fish to hone in on 'em, and really
think they're gonna feed up on a big bulky meal.
So today, we're using Strike King Rage Lizard which is part of the Rage Tail series.
And we're gonna show you some different ways to rig this and try to entice some of these
bigger pre-spawn fish that are looking to bulk up.
Alright guys, first when talking about lizards, it's best to categorize them as creature baits.
If we say lizard, you get really caught up in certain types of the year and stuff, but
really this is an original creature-style bait.
It's got five appendages, four legs and then that tail, and that's gonna be...this one's
designed with that Rage Tail series appendages.
So those are gonna kick, so you're gonna get so much action out of this bait.
Next, I'm gonna talk about two different ways to rig this thing today.
And this is basically, one on a Carolina rig, and then one on a Texas rig, that I'm gonna
show you.
I call this a Poor Man's Carolina rig because you can also, with a split shot, adjust it
to a Carolina rig.
So you can really switch back and forth.
This is a great technique for you, a pond fishermen that sometimes wanna do some flipping
and some close quarter fishing, and sometimes wanna make some long cast and drag this bait.
All right guys, there's two setups I really use for that Carolina rig.
First, is I go with, about three-eights to one and a half ounce bullet weight, then sometimes
I'll add a bead if I'm fishing dingy water.
So, when that bead is banging up against the weight, it'll make noise and bring those fish
in.
Then, I add a swivel to reduce the line twist.
Then, is the leader.
I go anywhere from 18 inches to 36 inches, all the way up to 3 feet depending on the
bottom.
If I've got just hard gravel bottom, I'll just do a smaller leader, like an 18 inches.
But if I've got mud or lot of grass or something like that, I'll go to a longer leader so that
bait will stay up above that different cover.
Then I've got about 2/0 to 3/0 wide gap worm hook, and I rig that bait up weedless, and
that's the first set up.
All right, the second rig I call the Poor Man's Carolina rig.
This is actually great because you can adjust it to be a Texas rig or all the way up to
Carolina rig.
So all you do is, start up with the bullet weight just like your normal Carolina rig
except for, you just have it loose on the line and same hook, 2/0 to 3/0 wide gap worm
hook rig weedless.
But, in this way you can throw this around cover, structure, whatever.
But then when you need that Carolina rig, all you do is get a leader, you take a little
split shot, crimp that on the line, and now you've got Poor Man's Carolina rig.
This is good for when you're fishing in the shore, you can go back and forth from a nice
little Texas rig to flip, and pick apart that different cover or make those long cast with
that Carolina rig.
Let me show you something really important to take into consideration on your hook sets.
So, let's say this bait, I've got about 3 feet leader on this thing.
So if this thing's banging along the bottom, let's say it's going that way, I'm dragging
it down that way.
Now, if a fish hits this bait, it's 3 feet behind that weight right now.
Now, if that fish swims forward, it can now go 3 feet in front towards where my hook set
is.
So basically, that's 6 feet of line that I've got to make up on that hook set.
So that's why it's really important if you get bit, you wanna reel down with your rod
tip down until you feel that rod load up, until you feel a little weight on that rod.
And then you make a big sweeping action because you need a long, long hook set.
You need to move that rod tip from as far as you can towards that fish away from that
fish, so you can really set that hook because you might have to make up 6 feet of slack
in that line.
That was nice, dude.
The good thing about these Carolina rigs is you can feel so much better because it doesn't
have it and that fish doesn't feel that weight.
All right, this is a good fish.
Yes, yes, come here baby.
Come here.
Look at that stud.
Are you kidding me?
Look at the mouth of this.
Wait till he stops flapping around.
Wow.
And that's why you gotta really reel down on that fish because you gotta reel down until
you feel the weight of that fish.
And when it loads up, then you set the hook.
So you make sure you're actually getting a good hook set on this thing.
Dude, look at that beast.
We've got grass, that's why we've got about 2 feet leader right there, so that the bait
stands just above that grass.
And these fish are moving up into the shallows from the wintertime spots up until a little
bit warmer shallower flats, and their belly down that grass just waiting for easy meals.
Holy cow, look at that mouth.
Baby!
See, you could see the seam that comes through here.
Nice, or you can see this...
Here we've got this nasty rock block and then it flattens out into a little bit more of
a shelf right there.
That's a great spot, it's a transition area that these fish, they could be up on the top
or they could be up on the deep side, suspended.
So we're casting straight down the seam and bring in this bait banging around down
there.
Right, so retrieval.
Guys, I'm making long casts.
This bait I'm using half ounce weight, so this weight is really staying on the bottom.
I can actually really move this quickly, because it really stays on the bottom, that bait's
just cruising along down there.
It'll float down the bottom as I pull it, it jumps up a little bit and then comes back
down.
So what I'm doing with that rod tip down, I'm just making a little sweeps of the rod.
Reel in the slack, make sweeps of the rod.
Right now, I've got a little bit of wind pulling me, so I don't even have to really do much
with the rod.
I can just have that rod tip down and feel that weight bouncing off the rocks.
If I get snagged up on anything, I lift up that rod tip up, shake it a little bit, and
I'll come over the rock, you drop the rod tip and keep moving.
So as I am fishing along the sides of points or over island tops and things, I wanna drag
that Carolina rig.
I can really keep that in contact with the bottom, and get that real natural meander
that that lizard does.
When I come up into some heavier cover, like these brush piles and things, that's when
I'm gonna go to more of the Texas rig.
So I've got that weight right up against to the hook and I'm just gonna lift this...
I'm gonna make little casts and pitches and stuff in between all those brush and just
crawl this bait in and out of there.
And I know as I'm doing that, as I'm coming over the brush piles and stuff, a few of my
line get tight.
So right now it's tight, but once that bait comes over...now it's in there, I'll shake
it because I know it's weedless.
I'm gonna shake it a little bit until it pops free.
There we go, pop free.
Now I'm gonna let it fall back to the other side.
And this is gonna make commotion down there, this is gonna draw attention.
And trust me, attention is a good thing this time of the year.
These big fish, they're looking for meals, they're looking for something going on down
there and this little lizard's putting off so much action that it's gonna draw in some
big, big babies.
Some big babies.
So talking about location, I really try to dumb it down.
I wanna focus on the easiest key-key areas in a lake, that's main lake points.
It's big lake points that come out and then any kind of island tops.
Any time the contour really comes up high and, you know, 10, 15, 20 feet of water, I'm
gonna drag this over and around spots like that.
And then creek channels, I love...
Depending on, if it's early in the season, February or March, I'll start deeper and work
my way up the creek channel.
But if it's a little late in the season, March, April, May, I'll start right up in the shallow
part of the creek.
Throw this way up in there and then drag my way out and follow that creek channel out.
If you focus on all those key areas, you will eventually find some fish.
If you find fishing area on a creek channel, 20 feet on an island hump, then you wanna
note that and then repeat those as you move around the lake.
Look for more situations like that.
It's really about giving these fish what they want at the right time of the year.
And a nice little profile, look at all those appendages.
We're coming out of the winter, water temps are warming up.
These fish get really active, they do want a lot of movement.
They want a lot of wiggle, wobble on these baits and, you know, the little Rage lizard
from our Strike King is perfect for that.
You got so much action.
It's a nice profile, it's a nice big bait, and that's what these fish wanna eat.
So guys, even though this is gonna be a great bait as soon as those fish go up on those
beds, you wanna be using this throughout the entire spawning time because you're gonna
be able to catch more fish.
Whether you're fishing in just a small pond or you're fishing in these big lakes and reservoirs,
you're gonna catch fish with a creature bait like this little Rage lizard.
