So if a jerkbait suspends in my 65* house tank, what will it do in colder 45* water?

 

Colder water is more dense so I always thought it would float more, or do I have it backwards? Ty

Colder water is more dense - down to 39^O - after that it gets less dense. Also, the cold will cause hard-plastic lures to shrink slightly...making them a bit more dense as well. Personally, I think it's a wash.

You have it correct...on paper. In reality, there are several other factors to take into consideration to determine what will actually happen. An actual difference may or may not be readily apparent on the water.
