Simp, the only way to find out which lures work for you is to get out and wet a line, every body of water is different, every fish is different, we have a small 1 acre pond on our property, stocked with small largemouth bass (mostly 8-10", small, but fun on ultralight to medium-light tackle), they love topwaters, Hula Poppers, Jitterbugs, Crazy Crawlers, they like rubber worms and Kastmasters as well, everything else i've tried is ignored, Slug-Go's are ignored and laughed at, spinnerbaits, they turn up their fishy noses at, and Rapala minnows are also ignored....
down the road, there's a small brook with Hornpout (catfish), chain pickerel, eels and brook trout, small Mepps spinners and Kastmasters are the producers here (brookies and pickerel), eels and hornpout only accept nightcrawlers
the closest large pond (Scituate Pond) has largemouth, pickerel, and yellow perch, topwaters Mepps spinners, spoons and worms produce here
when i visited my freinds down in Richmond, Va, topwater soft-plastic frogbaits, Berkely Power Worms and spinnerbaits were the big producers
every body of water is different, experience is the best teacher here, what works for me may not work for you...
