i'm sure it just depends on the pond, but i have an interstate pond i fish with same size and water clarity and green pumpkinseed works awesome for me, as far as size goes it all depends on the size of the bass in there if your going after the trophies well then throw a 10inch or something. If you just wanna catch fish, its hard to beet a 4inch curly tail with a little weight. rig it texas to help you slip it around cover. Good Luck!

I'd go to the Berkley 4" Power Worm in a watermelon, pumpkinseed, or red shad. Rig it Texas style and go to town......
Maybe some 4" Senko or Wave worms..... Good luck!! |

7" Culprit junebug color worm would probably work pretty well.

The Culprit is a good choice, in larger sizes, but I'd opt for the Berkley Power Worm in the 7" or larger size. The Culprit has a thinner, ribbon-like tail but the BPW has a tail design that should make more "noise" as it falls. Dark colors should prevail here, such as Green Pumpkin, Black, June Bug, Black Blue, but give Red Shad a chance as well. Use scent and at least a 3/0 EWG hook. Select a weight that will allow so slow a fall as possible but visually check to see that the worm is falling fast enough to reallyh activate the curl tail...important! When working the worm, alternate slow rise-and-falls with very short but snappy hops. The more racket you make, the better, you see. The short n' fast hop may call a bass into the area and the slow rise and fall following might make it easier for the bass to get a good mouthfull in poor visiblity. Use a rubber peg on the weight, BTW. This assures the maximum tail action on the fall. Be safe. FR |

I'd use a fat, black, straight-tailed worm, rigged like this: http://www.in-fisherman.com/magazine...orm/index.html
Or with just a swivel and offset hook with the hook further down the worm causing a bend in it.
