Thanks for the tips. You're right. I caught two bass right by this one random stick that was poking out the water.

Thanks Guys, I've hear for Rattle Traps, that you need a high gear reel, which I dont have. I think the highest I have is a 4:1. Would that still work? Also, I've always been interested in fishing spinner baits. A steady retrieve along the bank will catch them?

I am about to move to a neighborhood that has a small pond. My main purpose of this post is to get suggestions on NEW baits to try. My go-to bait, is pretty much always a 4" finesse worm, or 5" worm. Because, I will live right down the street from the pond, I will be able to go there often so I will have plenty of time to experiment with lures I haven't used much before. Description of the Pond (Its pretty unique): The pond is probably 100 yards by 75 yards. The bottom is sand. The water is clear/stained. There is very little vegetation in the pond. Also, the banks of the pond decline very slowly. You have to cast at least 10 feet off the bank to get into about 2 feet of water. The deepest depth is probably 10 feet at most. I have only caught a couple bass in here but ive only fished it twice. Any ideas on what lures to use, besides soft plastics? Please include color, and how to fish the lure.
