Tommy Biffle once hated dragging little plastics with a Carolina rig, preferring to force feed jigs and plastics to bass hiding around shallow cover.

So he asked sponsor Gene Larew to build a lure that would fit his power fishing style even in deeper water. The result was the 8-inch Biffle-O Lizard, which perfectly matched his big-bait mentality.
That lure transformed his view of the Carolina rig and opened a new chapter in his tournament fishing. Story
