If you could only take four artificial lures to go bass fishing in your pond what would they be and how would you fish them?

Big ol' Beetle Spin, yellow with black stripes

Chartreuse curlytail grub on jighead

3" Subwort in BG pattern

4" or 5" Rapala original floating minnow in Baby Bass

How would I fish them - over and over again. It only takes about an hour to work my way around the pond.

I only got to list 4 choices - that pretty much precluded my Mepps Deadly 20. \:\(

1/4 Ounce jig with blue head and Black skirt and black/blue pork trailer. Take four of them and you won't need anything else.

I am a long way from a Bass fisherman, but I believe it's all about variety and novelty. I think if you took the most successful combo of four from above and fished them the rest of your life, you'd do much poorer than if you ran through the hole list and tried everything.
