Top 3 Spring Baits for Lake Sinclair Jared Lintner

Lake Sinclair presents a unique spring challenge: water clarity can range from muddy in the Oconee and Little River drainages to crystal clear down by the dam, often on the same day. Bassmaster Elite Series pro Jared Lintner breaks down his go-to three-bait approach for navigating those conditions: a Buckeye Select spinnerbait sized and colored to match water clarity, a Frog Factory Sonic Boom Frog for calm days and fish guarding fry in the shallows, and his "chicken rig," a nail-weighted Yamamoto Sensei worm skin-hooked Texas style, for when the bite gets tough and a traditional wacky worm isn't getting it done.
