I usually catch and release so small spinners and spoons are great for trout as you are doing.
It seems as though your new to all this so in case you dont already know when using bait they will usually suck it in so far fish gets gut hooked 9 times outa 10 and no amount of digging gets the hook out.
Not telling you what to do but the rule ive set for myself is if im keeping i dont mind using bait cause im bonking them anyhow. Dont matter how far down inside the hook is.
Wishing you well and that you catch lots. Ponds are great places to start for sure or if a guy doesnt have much time they are handy.
