The Lindner boys have preached going to smaller and smaller jigs as the water gets colder. It seems to make a big difference for them. I do ok on jerkbaits in cold water on bass and pike. Never really tried the Lindner's advice as I don't fish jigs very often.

When the temps drop down into the low 50s and especially the 40s a jerk is hard to beat. I love it when then suck'em in head first!! A jig is always a good option as well though.
Hair jig n pig is my choice from 33 degree water up to 43
