I always found that smaller baits worked well on ponds. Baits like small spinner baits and small jerkbaits seemed to work well

How big a pond we talking?

Beetle spin, texas rig worm, senkos, zara puppy spook (most fun), and weightless flukes.
All will catch pond bass and won't break the bank. Really depends on time of year and how big the fish are. Overpopulated little shits, throw beetle spins and the spook, but decent sized fish you're gonna lean more to the texas rig and senkos.
Number one factor I forgot is vegetation. Shallow ponds will have two feet of moss on the bottom that make a texas rig useless. Here I would stay with flukes or the spook, are rig up a drop shot if you want to get fancy.

I've always had good luck with baby brush hogs and small spinner baits.

After I mess around I always go back to tying on a worm hook and either rig a zoom fluke weightless and weedless, or using the same hook and wacky worm

Tequila Sunrise worm

I have always had a lot of success with the Zoom Z-Hogs. When I was in school at LSU, I would tear the bass up in the neighborhood ponds. Caught one over 6 lbs. in Beau Pre using them.

When you think ponds, think terrestrials. That's what makes up a significant portion of the largemouth diet.
Frogs, hoppers, snakes, mice, and birds.
Then you also have much smaller shad populations typically so they are feeding on fathead minnows, sunfish, and crawfish.
then for ease of fishing you have to work around thick vegetation which often comes all the way to the surface.
I like weedless, shallow running baits in general for ponds.
H&H double Colorado blade spinner baits
various top water frogs
Zara spook and spook puppy
pop R
Rapala floating minnows in smaller sizes
soft plastic stick baits
short Carolina rigs with worm of choice
wacky worms
buzz baits
texas rigged worms in certain situations
