Rome Pond belongs to Jefferson County and is listed as a reservoir and the water facts we have show about 448 acres and a maximum depth of 7 feet, and that is the kind of basic information I actually want before fishing somewhere new.

I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits and I would build the day around one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break and I would give the fish a chance to show me whether they want shallow cover or nearby depth.
The fish list
The fish currently listed for Rome Pond include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which gives me something real to work with around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and let current conditions settle the details.
What I would try before anything fancy
If this were my day on Rome Pond, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, and I would make a quick regulation check part of the trip plan, not an afterthought at the ramp.
