TOP 5 Baits For POND FISHING And BANK FISHING (And How To Fish Them)

Are you a pond fisherman? Do you walk the bank, fish from a kayak, or raft? Maybe you fish from a Jon boat. If you fish small waters there are a few key baits that you need to know how to use. You can carry whole tackle boxes but at the end of the day, one of these 5 baits is how you'll catch most of your fish!

If you've spent any time fishing ponds you know they're just as diverse as larger lakes. Some are shallow, others are deep. Some have clear water while others are muddy. Despite all these differences, there are key baits that work in nearly every pond, every time. These are the baits we trust when we're showing up to a new pond and need to see what kind of fish live there. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits (in the order they were discussed). We've included our favorite colors and sizes for each, along with some great budget-friendly rods and reels you can use to fish these baits effectively.
