mattlures would be my top choice

Looks at the new 4" baits from Spro, Tru-Tungsten.  I've heard pretty decent things about them.  Also try some soft baits from 3:16.  I like the Minnows and mission fish.  Mattlures baits are worth a look too.  Stay away from the crappy little baits.... there a literally TONS of them out there.

Matt Lures, Storm Swim Shads (Shad color), and some new tru-tungstens. I haven't been able to try out the tru-tungstens yet, darn frozen over lake, but in the tube they look neat.

Mattlures Baby Bass (1.3 oz)

If you are looking for smaller swimbaits, Mattlures Shad and GYCB

Swimming Senko have been good producers for me.

You might want to give a soft swimbait a try like the Shadalious or the Money Minnow.
