i've not found a time a P&J won't work....well i haven't tried it thru the ice, but??? i've done best usin black/blue an greenpunkin (jig an trailers matchin) the problem i've had in ponds, after spring most have alge on the bottom an usin any 'jump' lure is a pain. if ya get good at countin down an swimmin it ya can catch'em but when it hits bottom its gunked-up. late fall, winter and early sping ya should be okay draggin an hoppin it off bottom(watch a crawfish, this is the way ya make it act) hope this helps!

ditto on that, next to impossible to have any success in ponds because of the algae and junk that grows in there. I have used pig trailers on spinner baits in ponds and caught quite a few, especially a smaller spinner bait like the mini bomber and a smaller pig trailer.
