Bladed jig

Buzz bait

Jig

wacky rig

weightless fluke

Shaky head

 

Can't really give you a favorite out of those, but any one of those will do the trick. They have all produced well.

My favorite for docs or banks or open water period is a cahtterbait, but I'm starting to love shaky heads with bushhogs or trickworms for docks, my step dad loves shaky heads with bushhogs

Thank you all for your responses. My family bought a boat this year. So not gonna be doing much bank fishing. I seem to like the jig a lot right not. But I'm still getting used to diff techniques. Thanks again

Going to be a lot of variables, except for the fact that I will always have a jig on at least one of my rods.

bankguy315 reply : 

jig(flip or swim)

t-rig(creature/craw)

w-rig(worm/fluke)

frog(hollow or solid)

 

and anything else you can skip under there.

papajoe222 reply : 

I like to skip a tube under docks unless I can get up close and pitch a jig there. Most of the lakes I fish have clear water and the fish spook easily, so I'll stay out 10yrds. or so and skip a tube.  If I'm just randomly going from dock to dock, I'll have two rods rigged with cranks that run off to the side and cast so that it runs under the dock and bounces off the pilings.

everythingthatswims reply : 

Clear water- drop shot on edges and skip a ned rig or senko underneath. Stained or muddy water I'm beating the dock to death with a jig.

This is assuming we are talking about something other than winter fishing
