If you are fishing in the back of the boat in a deep, clear lake for spots with a friend this time of year, and you are using 3 light/ medium-light action rods with light line, what do you have tied on each of those 3 rods?

Deep is a relative term.  For me it is over 25’.   Here is what I normally use for spots on upper Table Rock in the White River arm.
 

1 Ned rig with appropriate head size

2 Keitech swing impact fat in 2.8 or 3.3

3 Jewell Pee Wee jig in 5/16 to 7/16 with a Yamamoto 4” twin tail grub

I agree with @Jig Man, with one little difference. I'd go with a 1/8 to 5/16 oz jig.

I don't know spots, but all of the other parameters tell me to keep a topwater on for the inevitable blitz that will happen during the day when you don't have one tied on.  Something like a 1/2 oz sexy dawg that you can cast 40-50 yards if needed.

The request for light to medium light rods with light line dictates to me all open water techniques. These rods and light line are not for heavy cover fishing and not for techniques like T-rigging or other weedless lures needing superman hooksets which is problematic on such light rods and light line. So I want to use lures that easily hook into fish. Let them set the hook when they hit.

 

So keeping these rods & line specs in mind, here in Florida I would focus on three lures to cover different depths. And it also depends on time of day and amount of sunlight overhead so I will go with afternoon fishing as the sun is dropping lower in the sky and more fish are out roaming looking for food before sun goes down.

 

I tend to see schoolies busting up around me so I would keep something tied on for them. Being so light I need lures that will move through water easily and hook into fish easily, so for me lures like rat'l traps, swimbaits, smaller spinners like inline spinners, and various jerk baits might suffice.

It is not uncommon to find spots pretty deep.  Last year we had an area where the water was70’ deep.  We regularly caught spots dow to 40’ deep and sometimes deeper.  The Keitech with a 1/4 to 3/8 head was the best producer.  We don’t normally have much surface action from them.
