i absolutely used to slam bass in farm ponds with the mini spinner baits...they are the same shape and design as full sized spinner baits, just smaller...i did REALLY well with them everywhere when i used to bass fish alot. i never liked the full sized ones...i aint on TV and dont have 5lb bass all over...them full sized spinner baits were just too big looking to me...never even tried them...them smaller ones are a killer though...and still caught me bass of all sizes...

also, poppers worked great exspecially if there was logs or cover in the water i couldnt get the spinner baits into..i could use the popper and draw them out of the cover...and top water bass fishing is just a blast...

i learned that fishing the spinner baits paralell to the bank was the ticket..but the farm ponds i fished were man made and had pretty steep banks..the fish laid pretty tight against the banks...

man i used to have a ball with summertime bass...then reality and work came...then i learned how to catch good sized catfish out of the river at night after work!!

good luck!! dont be shocked if theres lunkers in there!! ive seen some farm ponds that were polluted with 12" bass...all stunted growth and couldnt get any larger...small pond..too many fish...i culled fish from them for a while...both bass and panfish...others though, ive caught some "trophy" bass...
