I just got done fishing a little while ago. I bought a new UL and gave my brother my old one and it had a X-4 X-Rap tied on it already. I threw a variety of things on my UL messing around as for a few and a few on regular bass tackle. I ended up with like 5 or 6 fish for the day. He threw that X-Rap like the whole time other then to test swim some new bigbaits he got. He probably need up with 25 or so fish and almost all on the tiny X-Raps. A fair amount of them are like the smallest fish you ever caught in your life and he throws baits bigger then them but a good amount of 1.5-2# fish also. He also got a cat at the end that was maybe close to 4# that tore up a ton of drag.

My top 3 are...drum roll...

 

Trick Worm (floating worm-limetreuse or bubble gum)

Rat-L-Trap (gold)

Rapala Floating Minnow (gold)

 

But I'm still experimenting.

Some honorable mentions:

 

Pop R, Frog, Senko-type worm, T-rigged anything, Spinnerbait, Craw pattern cranks

 

Tomorrow I intend to try a Johnson Silver Minnow spoon in gold with a grub trailer. They really like gold in this place. I'm also going to try a big tube.

Well, I got one bite on the Johnson Silver Minnow. The T-rigged Zoom Speed Craw saved the day. This is becoming one of my pond favs.

Depends on the cover, water clarity, etc. I will throw something totally different in a pond full of lily pads and stained water rather than one with clear water and rocks.

Same here. i know I've posted it before but I think this is a good start.
