Bought a used floating diving crank that was shaped like a bream. Those pond bass would wear that thing out. If you got close to the shore and reeled it up quickly to cast again. Sometimes a bass would follow it up you could throw it in front of the fish and it was on. Explosive strike within feet of where you were standing. Water was tea colored and fairly clear. With a sandy bottom. Those fish wore every bit of the color off that thing it was mostly white when I finally hung it on a deep stump and couldn't recover it. I am sure the profile and theat tight wiggle it had was what brought the fish to it. No telling how many bass were caught and released using that lure
