For shallow cover bass, you usually want baits that either deflect off cover or slip through it cleanly. The Googan Squad Bass Mafia Fugitive Flat-Sided Crankbait is built for shallow water reaction bites and flushing fish from cover.
If bass are tighter to cover or pressured, the Black Label Baby Bug Finesse Craw Soft Plastic Bait – 3 Inch 10 Pack gives a compact finesse profile for shallow cover and jig-style presentations.
The Freedom Baitz Blackbird (SR-71) and FUZZY BAITS Frizzy Beaver 4" are better when you need a weedless bait for flipping or pitching into vegetation, laydowns, and shallow structure.
The YUM 5" Dinger Amber Nite is a good all-around shallow stick worm for laydowns, buckbrush, stumps, weed edges, and dock supports.

Use the crankbait to bump wood, rocks, or shallow cover and keep it moving enough to trigger reaction strikes.
Rig the Freedom Baitz Blackbird (SR-71) or FUZZY BAITS Frizzy Beaver 4" Texas-style for flipping/pitching into cover.
Fish the YUM 5" Dinger Amber Nite wacky rigged or nose hooked around shallow targets and let it fall naturally.
The Black Label Baby Bug Finesse Craw Soft Plastic Bait – 3 Inch 10 Pack works well as a finesse jig trailer or on a compact jig for pressured fish.

Switch to a swimbait like the Googan Squad 5" Bass Mafia Loaded Daingerous Swimbait if bass are chasing baitfish in open pockets or along shallow edges.
Switch to a heavier flipping bait like the Great Outdoors Shops 4” DD Tube – Heavy-Fall Flipping Tube for Bass if the cover gets thicker and you need more fall speed.
Switch to the YUM 5" Dinger Amber Nite if fish are present but not committing to moving baits.
