Lure of Choice 2025
Fat-G reply :
If you had to go to a new pond, that you knew had 10+ pound fish in it, but you could only take 1 lure, what would it be? After you vote, please explain in a reply.
Mine would be a 1/2 oz. black/blue jig, or a 7 in. Zoom Trick Worm
Marc David reply :
I would choose either a jig or worm, but since I can only pick one, it would have to be a t-rigged Zoom Ol Monster.
Quitlimpin reply :
jig or worm. But it would be awesome to have a 10lb'r smash a buzzbait
DINK WHISPERER reply :
This one is easy! A 10" Berkley PowerBait worm in all black!
D4u2s0t reply :
plastic worm... why? it ALWAYS works, regardless of conditions.

EXACTLY. In a 10 incher
Uncle Leo reply :
Plastics, can always count a bite with these. This bait gives you such a vast quantity of size, profile and color that you can always get something to bite them. Along with this you can modify your presentation numerous ways.

what's the difference? we were all kids at one point, and i'm sure when you were first learning you had questions, whether you asked on the web or in real life doesn't make a difference.

I would go with with a green pumpkin trick worm.
FishDontLikeMe1301600221 reply :
a 10" or 12" worm/snake....cause the big ones kill them
SJex reply :
Jig and Pig.
iceintheveins reply :
All four could produce a 10, but I think plastics, jigs, and spinnerbaits have slight edge over topwaters. Topwaters can produce a big one though as well, easily. My biggest bass of all time, nearly 7 pounds, was caught on a buzzbait.
SDoolittle reply :
Texas rigged 6" Gene Larew Salt Craw. It attracts big fish, it can be worked fast or slow, and probably hasn't been thrown in that pond as much as power worms and senkos. Color would depend on water clarity, but two of my favorites are green pumpkin and black/blue.
bigtimfish reply :
I'll give it a shot with a wat/red Yum 10" big show paddle tail worm 8-)
Avalonjohn44 reply :
Spinnerbait. Green and White tandem willow blades, one silver, one gold.
driftingrz reply :
id go with a worm. only because i havent gotten the experience/or technique down using many other things.
BassFishingMachine reply :
Spinnerbait. If I am fishing a lake completely new to me, a bait that covers alot of water quickly is my choice (aka search bait). A spinnerbait works well, and does this job nicely. When I find the hotspots in the lake, I can come back later and work the spots with a slower presentation such as a jig or soft plastic. I am not too concerned about catching fish when I am covering the lake with my spinnerbait, I am more concerned about finding what spots are holding the fish, so I know where I should be spending most of my time with the slower presentations. Though at times, they go crazy for the spinnerbait/faster presentations, and the slower presentations just don't work as well. All in all, I'd searchbait the place out, and then come back and refish it with a jig or t-rigged plastic.
90x reply :
Soft plastics are beast! They can be anything. Therefore you have a better choice of selection. Also, they stay in the strike zone longer and you can fish them almost anyway. You can jig soft plastics, you can swim soft plastics and you can fish them on the top water. Hence, soft plastics are a very broad title to put on baits.

The question was about fishing a pond. I don't think you really need a search bait. There's only so many places a fish can go in a pond.
larrybass reply :
Yup, I'm with the other boys that said big worms will do the job, as long as they're black or motor-oil... Oh ya, I love those 10 inch long and fairly fat floaters that I'd add a split shot or two up the line a few inches, if I need to sink that puppy much.
Rampaging big mouths just slaughter these snake-like plastics and have even been known to frighten grown men, with their viciousness, when hog Bass are in attack mode, in close quarters.
Top quality 5 or 6/0 wide gap hook, Texas rigged all the way...
cheers,
KYntucky Warmouth reply :
I would say a worm or jig from the choices but some valid choices were left out....I.E. Swimbait, Crankbait, Crappie Jig
old bassman reply :
Culprit Pumpkin speed worm any size.
Flippin & Pitchin reply :
I fish a pond close to my house where me and a friend have each pulled a 9 pounder out of.
Both were caught on a T-Rig with a 1/16 oz. Red Shad 7.5 inch worm. So I would have to say that is my pick.
cbfishalot reply :
Jig
deermaster reply :
i am pretty new to bass fishing, but since i have gotten serious about fishing t rigs, that would be my choice. everytime i have used em this year, i have atleast gotten some hits, my hookset timing needs work, but the t rigged plastic worm has ALWAYS done its job.
