much better, September 7, 2009
By TMinor

Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Style/Design, Value for money

"I tried the other Yum Lizards, and they were terrible unless I darn near dead sticked 'em every cast. The legs on those had no action, they stayed stationary causing the lizard to do barrel rolls when I tried to swim it over some grass. But these, these things are AWESOME! I was using these on a Carolina rig yesterday, and it just kept getting NAILED. However, they were nailing from mid-body to the end of the tail = not the head with the hook in it. They destroyed my lizard, but I didn't catch any of em. But, that proves these things work. So come spawning season, you can guarantee I'll be tossing one of these onto some beds."

"I had never fished with a lizard before, but when I tried this I caught 9, 15-16 inchers and 2, 10 inchers on the 7" green pumpkin zellamander at a farm pond. I also found they were pretty durable. I only lost 2 zellamanders in a fence."

"I took a bag of 7" Zellamanders in Black/Blue color down to Smith Mountain Lake.If you've ever fished SML you probobly know it is a deep,clear lake.Anyway, the bass where spawning so the bass where up on the beds in 1-4 feet of water. I Figured out that that i needed to cast the lizard out on the bed and deadstick it. Knowing that salamanders try to eat the basses eggs, they were not going to like it sitting by the eggs. Caught lots of great bass, one being my largest at 5lbs. 11oz. It's pictured in the picture on the side.Had a 8-9 lbder grab it but he broke my line:("

great lizard, March 31, 2009
By bassfishallthetime from michigan

"The twin tails on this lizard gives this bait more action than most other lizards. It is great for spring fishing. It can be fished weightless, Texas riged, or Carolina riged."

big bass catcher, March 30, 2009
By younggun5 from mid Alabama

"This lizards split tail provides tons of action that big fish cant resist. This catches bigger fish and more often in midsummer. i went just the other day and caught an 8 pounder, a 4 pounder and a 3 pounder. didnt even have to jig the lozard at all everyone of the fish took the bait on the original fall. fishes best with a 5/0 gamakatsu Superline worm hook. be sure to tie it to the highest pound test line you got."

great action, February 1, 2009
By kentuckybasser16 from burlington, KY

"these yum lizards have great action with the two tails. when you buy these lures dont go small go big with the 7in size. good buy if you like to fish lizards. could be a little more durable though."

#1 in my book, August 2, 2008
By Dwane

"Try the 4" on a shakey head worm hook. You will find it gets many more bites than the shakey worm. Also, you won't find a better Carolina rig bait than the 7" Zellamander. Use a 3' leader and fish it slow. You will be amazed at the results. This bait took me to 1st place in a tourney today and I had almost 5 pounds more than 2nd place. It's a winner!"

Catches fish in any conditions!, July 17, 2008
By monstercatcher from Southeastern PA

"I had a pack of these laying in my tacklebox for a year because I just did not think lizards would be this productive. However, I was wrong because now this thing catches bass every time I go out fishing. It will catch fish in the morning, middle of the day, and the late evening, and both on cloudy and clear days. Great for fishing weightless!"

"I was fishing a local pond, and on third cast I landed a ten pounder on the gourd green. My son caught a three pounder later that week. The double tail action is irresistable when swimming"

Great for the spawn, June 28, 2008
By fishin4bass from Apopka

"This lure is great all year around. Work it like it is a jerkbait. Just cast it out and let sink then jerk it a couple of times then pause. Fish it with weights or weightless. Catches fish in shallow or deep water with weeds or not. Only bought one pack last time i was at Basspro and i regret doing so."
