Bluegill are the main forage in most ponds across the country. Learning to imitate a bluegill with lures that can be fished easily around shallow grass will help you catch more fish. Most pond anglers walk the bank so keeping it simple is critical! Carrying too much gear will make you miserable, even if you’re getting bit. Don’t worry about carrying boxes of baits. Carry less rods, focus on these 4 baits, and you’ll have more fun.
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits discussed in the video. We’ve included our favorite colors for each, as well as the gear we use to rig them. We also included a few of our favorite bank fishing combos that can be used for multiple techniques, so you can carry less gear. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
