I’m sure this has been asked before but maybe there have been new lures developed since….What is everyone’s favorite cold water LM bass lures? 
we can even split it up and have one that you’re throwing along banks, and ones you’re throwing at the deep stuff?

When the water is below 40 and pre/during turnover I’ve only caught fish on a blade bait. Cold but post turnover, small underspin/fluke and hair jig are also pretty effective for me. All three of these work at all depths for me.

If they are shallow sunning themselves I like a shallow flatside crank.  OG tiny 04, frittsides, a small lipless crank that doesn't sink too fast and jerkbaits.  I'll target shallow slow sloping banks from tiny state park ponds after ice out since they warm up 1st and rip rap banks on points to spawning bays on larger bodies of water with the cranks.  I'll also throw a faster sinking glide bait  on the bigger bodies of water that will actually be a slow sink in the dense water as well as deeper flatside cranks like the bomber deep flat a and frittside 7.  You can also add weight to a glide that wants to float to get it to behave in the cold dense water.

In the winter I fish Table Rock in SW MO.  The water temp usually stays in the mid to upper 40s.  I go up river or into large creeks where the water isn’t deeper that about 40 feet.  I almost always use several baits but the best for the last few years has been Plastisol worms from Strike King and Zman.

 

Yesterday I caught 16 bass on them rigged weedless shaky with a Midwest finesse head and a VMC EWG 2/0 hook.

Spinnerbaits, lipless cranks, jerk baits and Ned rigs.

My top producers in cold water have been Jerkbaits, Crankbaits, Jigs, Chatterbaits, Swimbaits, and Lipless Crankbaits. Bought a few blade baits over the winter to give a try as well when the lakes come uncapped.

Depending on the water I am fishing I will be using a  swim jig, Texas rig, spinnerbait , crankbait, or lipless crankbait.
