Bubblegum, yellow, or white lizards. You can also swim a bluegill-colored swimbait into it. Cast past the bed, and when the swimbait gets right over the bed, let it drop -- if there is a sow on the bed she will NAIL it. The bright colors are good for sight fishing. However, be prepared to catch a lot of small male bass. Also, be patient.....most of the time the fish will slap at the bait and won't eat it. You'll think the fish has the bait, but when you set the hook -- nobody's home. Keep varying your lures until you get bit. If you're practicing, release the fish as fast as you can and let it swim back to the bed. That way our kids and grandkids will have bass to catch.

Fishing for bedding bass is a moral dilemma. I personally only do it in tournaments (for money). I will not do it in practice or fun-fishing.
