Winter lures....Finesse or bigger?

[WaffleJaw]

I hear alot of guys who always drop down to slow finesse fishing in the winter....Now thats it actually starting to get colder in TX..Im thinking of cold strategies....For some reason it makes sense to me to go bigger in lure and plastic size...I mean the bass arent gonna be as active.So why would they chase a small size snack that wouldnt replenish the energy it used to grab it?
Im sure small lures still work..but I think bigger my be better...Opinions?
Ive never fished through a cold winter before,so Im trying to get a game plan...
