Channel swing/steep gravel banks always seem to hold a few bass that will hit a ned rig--the blue craw Finesse TRD is a staple for me because I think the greenish back and light blue belly look a lot like a shad. On this weekend, with the warm water temperatures, any bank like this that had wind hitting it also had lots of bait being pushed in by the wind, and I caught a 6+ lb. largemouth in addition to several smaller largemouth and smallmouth.
