thats okay choose both
Raul reply :
Any of those because my "winter" is not like yours, for example, yesterday was a "cold" winter day down here, by mid day we were at chilly 82°.
auburn bass man reply :
Here in the south where I normally fish I would say that its a toss up between a jig or a deep diving crank/rattle trap. I know I combined two of your choices but the two are similar I am a fan of noise.

T-Bone reply :
When you say cold, do you mean up north cold or down south cold? I would choose different for each.
J Francho reply :
I don't have an auger that would fit in my tackle box ;D

here in ohio i would go with the jig and dead stick it
senko_77 reply :
You can't go wrong with a jig in winter. If I had to choose 1 thing, it would be this. Other good options are jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, and aruku shads (lipless crankbait)
jimmieO reply :
Down here with our downright freezing Alabama winters (70 the day after christmas)...Jig or spinnerbait
zbass reply :
Big jig. Make it worth the fishes effort to eat.
BassFishingMachine reply :
The only thing I can get to work for me in winter is small suspending jerkbaits, fished as slow as I can force myself to go.
Many say jigs, but I have yet to do well with a jig in winter, maybe they work well on the bigger lakes in the winter, but here in the local ponds, a jerkbait is the only thing I can get them to take in the cold cold water.
Ps. I continue to try jigs in cold cold water, but jerkbait is all that ever works.
Sam reply :
Jig first, but cast it far if the water is clear.
Then a moving bait, like a deep diving crankbait if they do not hit the jig. 
-ebby- reply :
well anything i cast is gonna stay on top >-- so i guess it has to be topwater 
CFFF 1.5 reply :
If you are fishing Florida winters I would go with everything. I will have all of those tied on this Saturday for my tournament.
bighed reply :
Here in North Texas we've been wacking them pretty good. Water temps are in the low 50's to high 40's right now and the jigging spoon bite is on. The drop shot with a small shad type bait is working too. We're looking for schools of shad and finding most fish in 25-35' of water.

Texas Rigged Jig
BARON49_Northern NY reply :
jig and pig using a real pork frog chunk works for me.
Tin reply :
Windy= Jerkbait
Slick= Jig
Captain Obvious reply :
there one thing I want to know? Are we talking cold like its been a steady 32 are lower for a few weeks. Or are we talking North Texas cold, which means that it was 72 degrees out today 8-) so I spent the whole day chopping wood,Why? Because the high for tomorrow is going to be 18 degrees thats texas weather. For the steady cold periods I'll use a jig and flat sided crank bait . But during warm up times I'll use a jerkbait and a lipless crank.
good luck

BuzzBait25 reply :
I would use plastics, preferable the Shaky head. Bass are normally not real active in the winter so i prefer to finese them a little. Always yeilds good results for me.

You don't have to rub it in.
Oh yea, a jig.
IDbasser reply :
A small jig, but that would be after I cut a hole through the ice. ;D

E-3 FE reply :
The 11.2 that I am holding came on an 18 degree morning. She was caught on a deep running fire tiger crank bait.
Bankbeater reply :
I like to deadstick a jig, if the lakes aren't iced up.
