The 9 in. Big Hawg Lizard is the largest of three lizard baits that includes the 4½ in. Lizard and the 6 in. Super Lizard. The lizard replicates a lizard, a salamander or a Water Dog (Mud Puppy) that has fallen in the water, and fish hate them all. The Big Hawg Lizard produces a similar reaction strike as the Bayou Giant. It’s a big lizard, it poses a threat to a big fish. A big lunker is going to see this lizard and say to itself, “I’m gonna kill this son-of-gun right here!!” You’ll get aggressive strikes because of its size and action. The tail action is a great attractant.

I like to fish with the 9 inch Big Hawg Lizard in the spring time. This year, I have done well using the color Cotton Candy; a color that seems to do well in this area of Louisiana . I have seen it happen that one year fish will bite on one color and the next year they won’t, so you change color and even a slight change in color can make the difference.

The Super Lizard is very buoyant, so rig the Super Lizard Carolina style with a light wire 1/0 or 2/0 hook works very well, allowing the bait to float up and stay off the bottom as you pull the bait through the water.
Another effective rigging technique is to bite the head off the Super Lizard and peg a weight to the body, replacing the head, then use an offset shank hook and hook it through the neck of the body.
The Big Hawg Lizard is a good bait to use at night because of its action.
