This is a great topic, Coach. I like all of the lures on his list. I grew fishing farms ponds and this has made me remember some great lures and some great times spent fishing. Here's my five favorite ponds lures;

1. Rapala Orginal Minnow
   
2. Rooster Tail
   
3. Jitterbug
   
4. Crazy Crawler
   
5. Creme Pre-rigged Scroundrel Worm
   

So let's compare list. What are your favorite pond lures?

My faves are pretty much as follows:

1. Skitter pop
2. Hula popper
3. Beetle spin (catches everything in the pond)
4. Gander mountain brand jerk bait
5. Spro frog

Everyone who fishes with me knows I love top water and it shows on my list.

Hmm... Now that's a tough one...

Let me see, I'll go with...



5. Bomber Fat Free Fry

4. Modified Beetle Spin or Minnow Spin as I call it

3. Buzzbait

2. Bomber Square A

1. KVD Sexy Frog

Here are my top 5 lures to use in a small lake or pond:

5. KVD Swim Jig

4. KVD Double Willow Super Chartreuse

3.Brown and gold X-Rap Shad

2.Blue and silver medium Rat-L-Trap

1. Red spinnerbait with 2 gold blades

My two cents or 5

1. Tiny pop r
2. Jitterbug
3. 3 or 4 inch senko wacky rig
4. Small rebel crank bait
5. 4 - 6 Texas rig worm

I'm seeing some lures I've never used before and think I'll be adding a few to my tackle collection.

I've seen those pre-rigged worms but never used them. They are pretty reasonable in price. Do you fish them like any other worm Angler?

I consider the spro and the kvd frog the same lure as they look so much alike and fish so similar. I hate how expensive both of them are but they are effective.

OK here's my fav's

Stealth Bomber
Bead Head Wooley Bugger
Foam Beetle
Foam Frog
Bass Popper

My proven collection:

Panther Martin #4 delux fly. Gold blade with orange skirt
Mepps aglia (dressed or marabou) brown trout coloring
Reaction Innovations Beaver. Favorite color is California 420.
4" black lizard - no certain brand. Fished on black jig head. I used the same jig head for the Reaction Innovation Beaver
Rapala broken back black back with gold belly. Size 07

Guess it would determine the size of the farm pond. I've fished ones that you could cast across but long. These "irragation" ponds were used many years ago to help with water to the crops. Not many are made these days. I've found that small lures like Beetle spins, Panther Martins, and such would catch about anything in the pond. Also plastic worms without any weight will bring in the big bass along with Rebel or Rapala minnow imatations. In small ponds the fish are use to quiter presentations so I stay with lighter and quieter baits.

I've been fishing a pond so to speak lately that I still use stealth to catch fish but with the larger size of the pond, 35 acreas, I can use larger lures to bring in the quarry.

Buzzbait



Senko with no weight or on a Carolina Rig



Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver on a Carolina Rig..black/blue

Spro/KVD/Live Target Frogs...man bass love frogs.



Assorted topwater flies.

Anybody have anymore they'd like to mention?
