My "Go To" bait would be Berkley's PowerBait Minnow. I've have major success with them at different ponds. You can never go wrong with a beetle spin or the Rebel Crickhopper Ultra Light Crankbait. I will always carry worms to my destination because bream cannot resist them.

I will be trying the Crappie Nibbles out for the first time this year. I know I know, I've been missing out. I did some research and will pick up a jar or two.

I tried the preserved crickets before... I gave the jar away. Lol!
