If I had to pick one this time of year it would be a watermelon/red fluke. Dip the tail as mentioned and hang on! You might take more than $10 if your like me.

The bandit colors river bream and sun perch have worked for me too. Zoom Superflukes -- got all different types of options there, including a color called bluegill. I have one Lateral Perch that I'm not ready to give up on until after the perch spawn kicks into high gear the next month or so, but I will say that I'm starting to have doubts that it's gonna be one that really works for me personally. I have some of these on backorder from Tackle Warehouse. I'll let you know how they work if they ever get here. Big Bite Warmouth
