What are your favorites? Anything I should leave in the tackle box during the winter?

I use pretty much the same baits I use all year round, soft plastic swimbaits, jerkbaits, and gliders.
Sloppy Seniors, Raptor jerkbaits and Stinger Gliders, I make all my own baits they are not really main stream
little over 2 weeks ago we got 2 musky and a pike in one hour of fishing in western PA. The one musky jumped and came completely out of the water, not bad for a 40" class fish in 35 degree water.

I do not feel there is anything that is cold water specific, use your summer baits but go alittle slower. I catch many fish every year in the winter and have not found any bait they wont hit when worked at a speed dictaded by the conditions.

Gliders. Manta's, Softtail Phantoms and Hellhounds. All we need in the PA rivers Nov-Feb so long as the ice stays away.

Gliders are def a go to for me. I also like 7" big game twitch baits, bulldawgs and swimbaits. Slow seems to produce best for me
