Are Deep Divers too big for a small pond I can catch on Senkos but never deep divers at local pond

Likely, A deep diver (20ft+) is probably going to be digging the bottom the whole time, and will probably get hung up quite a bit, if there's anything on the bottom. If you don't have a boat, that could get expensive quickly. That's not to say that a bass won't each a big crankbait that's digging into the ground, but there are probably better tools for the job. Ponds I've fished were more effectively fished with a mid-diving crankbait, like a Rapala DT6 ( https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=c1UQEdGla5o&mid=38416&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tackledirect.com%2Frapala-dives-to-series-crankbait-lures.html ). Try "matching the hatch" which Mike Iaconelli talks about frequently in his videos. Are their crawfish? Are their yellow perch? Select your colors based on forage.

It all depends on the pond. Some ponds are spring feed and have some depth to them. In this case, the bait will go deep in the summer and so will the bass. Deep cranks can be a great tool in that case. They are very difficult to use if you are bank fishing. However, if you fish from a boat they can be a great tool.
