When I flip matts I like to use baits like tubes, curl tail worms, mostly baits that will fall without gatherin to much weeds on the bait.

Most creature baits have more appendages to get grass/junk hung on them, unless you're talking about brush hogs or something that's meant to be flipped into heavy cover. A streamlined worm usually does better in grass.

I agree with Mississippi on this one

Bassboss as a rule of thumb, I would say that the smaller sized plastics are more productive when the fish are less active. So it all depends on what the bass want.

I'm not a fan of chatterbaits. I would use a spinnerbait then switch to a Strike King Rage tail Shad to cover water. Then I would switch tactics and presentations to slowly work a soft plastic over the tops of the weeds, but not allowing my lure to sink into the weeds unless there is a hole I want to explore. For me it 1/4oz T-Rigged 7-10 inch worm or a 4 inch Ulgly Otter into those holes. I've stopped carrying a 6 inch Lizzard (something I need to correct), would also be a great option.

Any Creature bait or for that matter a 7-10 inch worm would work as long as you can effectively keep it near or on top of the weeds. My plan for using Strike King's Space Monkey this coming season is for slowly working it along weed lines, rock walls or flats with a pop/stop. To me that seems to take full advantage of those big claw type apendages. As for using a Craw type lure. I'm sure that they work just fine. It's just that I don't use them. Why, because I have to lug all my gear to & from our reservoir boats, and just can't carry a unlimited amount of tackle, and setups. If I want to go with Craws, then I would have to leave out some thing in my creature box. I also carry Brush Hogs, for when they want really big baits.

This is good advice. After looking at that pond I'd also definitely try a fluke and a trick worm. No wt. Jerk, jerk--------pause--------jerk, jerk, jerk------pause-------etc, etc, etc,. That's after the water warms this Spring.
