I've had some luck bank fishing with this:

http://www.amazon.com/Rat-L-Trap-Lures-O...ords=rat+l+trap

it's a 1/4 oz mini rat-l-trap in "lectric blue" which is a blue top that fades down into glossy silver sides.

What are some of your favorites?

Hmmm good Choice I think I have some of them but the good old Spinner works for me.
Spiner bait

Perch swimbait usually does the trick for me

New here..but my best baits by far have been small 4-6" straight tailed worms,usualy zoom trick worms and small crawfish pattern crankbaits,most notably for me those of the bomber series(5A and 6A).

zoom watermelon red trick worm, weightless texas rig or wacky
senko same way rigged

Depends on what I'm fishing for.
For bass Watermelon red 3"-5" grub on a jighead.
For panfish a Southern Pro Hot Grub or Triple Tip on a jighead.
Rapala Floating Minnows F03-F09 are great too.

When bank fishing I use a Lft hyper stick t- rigged weightless !!!! Or a 1/4oz red eye shad . Red in fall and early winter for lipless. As for the hyperstick choose what color fits the water color clear bright colors, stained water Dark.

I have had success with a baby ring fry or a zoom green worm with chartreause tail on a drop shot rig.

Zoom watermelon reds any size or my all-time favorite balsa bait.

I'll have to agree with Denton Pond Jumper...I've had most of my success this summer on spinnerbaits. Prior to this year, I have to admit I had never caught bass on a spinnerbait, mostly due to lack of confidence in them. But now I always have one tied on. Also doing well on Zoom Ultravibe craws in Green Pumpkin, GrandeBass Baby Rattlesnakes in Watermelon Chartreuse Pepper, and fluke-style baits.
