On the Black spinnerbait there are 2 ways to Slow-roll the 1 you wan't with a black bait at night invovles holding your rod as high as is comfy and winding at a slow STEADY pace so the blade bulges but doesn't break the surface.
You might also try a black Jitterbug crawled across the surface just fast enough to Burble.
The other way to slow roll is typically done during the day and involves crawling a spinnerbait across the bottom at a speed just fast enough to make the blade(s) turn. Try White/silver if there are Shad in the pond, Yellow/gold if there are shiners, Yellow/blue/gold if only bluegill/sunfish, and Black or Brown if there are Crawdads. If a straight wind doesn't get it during the day try a fast jump about every 10-20ft. Good Luck

Tight lines,
Wade
