right now fish are super finicky up here and from what I've heard most northern states. Probably a good time to focus on smallmouth in deeper areas.

X2....C-Rig has been my ticket for the bigger ones lately.

It depends on your definition of deep and the type of lake you fish.  I fish some lowland reservoirs where 20 feet would be deep fishing.  I fish some highland reservoirs where 50 - 60 feet is deep fishing.  

 

For lowland reservoirs, I favor a football or brush jig depending on the bottom.

 

For highland reservoirs, I like a jigging spoon with a dropshot not far behind.

 

These aren't the only lures I fish deep but I seem to have the most success using them.

For 10 - 20 feet I would say crank. Deeper than that, carolina rig or football jig. If the crank fails to produce in the 10 - 20 range, out comes the latter two.

Don't overlook slow rolling a spinnerbait in deep either, it just has tremendous fish attraction power.

I fish mostly for bronze backs and spend most of my time throwing a drop shot

Unable to respond to poll as my favorite is whatever would be best for a given situation. If I had to choose though it would be a blade bait.  Or maybe a drop shot. or maybe a c-rig or maybe a big heavy jig and swimbait combo. I can't decide. I mean I've caught bass in over 50' on a Keitech Salty Core in the middle of winter. A very slow way to fish for sure but it worked.

My deepest running bait is a "Jig-&-Craw", but not a football jig (not in Florida)

C-rig/mojo for deep, most flat structure. Texas and jigs for deep sloping structures

Ha-ha.  Raul is one of our resident "wanna be comedians".  I'm assuming he has another source of income.

I fish from shore only so don't get to really fish deep water :( but if I did I'd probably give some of the deep diving crankbaits and dropshotting first crack at it!
