I use large tube baits like Southern Pro Umbrellas most of the time. If I had a second choice for deep water in winter (over 20' deep) I would use something hand tied like a Meatgetter's as it takes heavier jig to sink plastic tubes in real deep situations. What is your #1 and a back up if you could use only 2 baits? Remember I ask artifical baits no live bait options here.
