I have no doubt I will get several answers here. Opinions and all. I have pegged out on 5 pounders. I am looking to catch a 10+ pounder for the wall. I am fishing a couple ponds that dang sure have big ones in them.

What is the best big bass bait for ponds?

Yep that'll work to. I caught several in the 8 pound range using water bottles as floats with bream

10" plastic worms texas rigged, big spook, Jig w/ big crawfish trailer. A lot depends on the cover in the lake. Big Fish like big meals. My choice would be a big plastic swimbait. 6-8" with an 8/0 hook. Probably a Little Creeper trashfish.

I dont think there is any bait that's better than ths next for big fish. I have probably caught a dozen 8 -12 lbers from ponds. I have caught em on a senko , rat, jog, spinnerbait, buzz bait, Texas rig. I think in a pond you just have to make a bunch of casts to get it in front of one of them and use tackle and hardware that can handle a big girl so you dont lose her once she bites

5” bream below a float around a bream bed is hard to resist.

Pop-R drives them crazy in a pond. Plus it's super fun to see a 8-10 pounder destroy one on topwater

If I was going to throw a spinnerbait it would be a big 3/4 oz one with a #7 or #8 Willow blade and a big trailer.

The two 10 plus I have seen were both caught on a 12" Culprit red shad.
