Why these fit

For shallow cover bass, the best first choices are a squarebill crankbait and a compact soft plastic. Jenko Fishing CD2 Square Bill Crank Bait and Litchfield Lures Raptor 2.5" Squarebills are both built for shallow structure and cover, where deflection and reaction bites matter.
If you want a slower, more precise approach around grass, wood, or dock edges, Bass Assassin Bang Bug 6pk is a versatile creature bait for casting and flipping.
For a lighter, more subtle presentation, Gambler Floating Worm 7" 12pk is designed to be fished weightless around shallow grass and cover.
Black Label Baby Bug Finesse Craw Soft Plastic Bait – 3 Inch 10 Pack is a good finesse option when bass are pressured and want something compact around shallow cover.

Technique notes

Use the squarebills to bang into wood, rock, and shallow cover; pause briefly after deflections to trigger strikes.
The Jenko Fishing CD2 Square Bill Crank Bait is a strong choice when you want a wider wobble and a bait that backs out of cover well.
The Litchfield Lures Raptor 2.5" Squarebills is a good shallow target bait for stumps, gravel, and hard edges.
Rig the Bass Assassin Bang Bug 6pk Texas style for pitching/flipping into cover.
Fish the Gambler Floating Worm 7" 12pk weightless and let it glide naturally over grass and shallow cover.

When to switch

Switch to a soft plastic like the Bang Bug or Floating Worm when bass won’t chase a moving bait, or when cover is too thick for a crankbait to run cleanly.
Switch to the finesse craw when fish are pressured, the water is clearer, or you need a smaller profile.
If bass are suspended off the cover or feeding more aggressively, stay with the squarebill first.
