I really like Squarebill crankbaits in shallow water. I have done so so with jigs, but the 4s and the 1.5 seem to bring me the best results.

 

If the bass are pushing the bait fish to shallow water and tearing them up, I will switch up to a top water spit shad and have really good luck too.

As long as there is cover of some sort I'd be throwing a jig or plastic but that's just more of a confidence thing.  If it's open water and schooling baitfish it's a lipless crank or some sort of topwater depending on the conditions.

I fish shallow water with the KVD 1.5 shallow running crankbait. I use the color I forget what it is called but its black on top and just white on the rest of it. It looks like a shad basically. I have had good luck fishing it around stumps/rocks and shallow grass. I will try the yatomoto senko around structure if there is no strong current or wind. also shallow grass I pitch a beaver style bait with a heavy weight into the grass and pull it back out. Although I need heavier line. I have through topwater in the mornings with no success. I have not tried spinnerbait but it may produce.

Senkos, topwaters, wakebaits, spinnerbaits, in-line spinners, swim jigs, buzzbaits.

For me I'd say a squarebill or spinnerbait.  Also maybe try a weightless worm/lizard.

Shallow water + cover = frogs. Frogs + bass = happy angler.
