What is your favorite lure for bass fishing in PONDS?

[AGarbers]

What is your favorite lure for largemouth bass fishing in ponds? I would say mine is a plastic worm or creature bait. Slooow reeling it in seems to work best.

My favorite bait anywhere is a topwater of any kind. If you can't get excited about explosive strikes, check your pulse. My most productive bait is a watermelon/purple flake tube.

Sure would like to see pics of 9.5lbs. bass that is only 22" long, it would be one fat (girth) bass and a freak of nature.

Gotta agree with topwater baits! Spooks, Jitterbugs, Hula Poppers are among my favorites. I'll throw topwater before anything else just cause I really love the strike. Early morning and dusk seem to be the most productive. In the heat of the day, I'll slow role a spinner bait or creep a worm Carolina rigged.

As Brad said, that is one toad of a fish and would no doubt had plenty of pics taken.

It would have to be an black and silver original Rapala for me. My fondness of that bait dates back to before we even knew there were Bass tournaments. All we knew was that the older guys that went on the great excursion "up north" all had more Rapalas in their steel tackleboxes than any other lure. They weren't cheap and you had to swim to retrieve them occasionally but they were the pride of many a young boy.
There is something about casting that lure at sun break and waiting for the initial ripples to dissipate across the pond. Then just a touch of the rod tip and again wait. The payoff was something that only a surface lure brings.
