Usually a minnow, but I would try a 3" Power Minnow myself. The blades attract the fish with vibration & flash, the scented minnow is the "coup de grace."
Luhr Jensen has tons of info on their site.

You must be really new to fishing.
Stick to the Conservation areas, or Kawarthas,or Quinte etc
Trent-Severn waterways & dams.
