A classic ring grub reworked with deeper rings and softer action
Typical delivery times range from 5 to 7 days
The ring grub has been catching fish for generations, but that doesn't mean the design can't be improved. The Freedom Baitz Ring of Fire is Shannon Kruse's take on this proven profile, using deeper body rings and softer plastic to create more natural action in the water. As the 2.75-inch bait moves, its pronounced rings also release tiny air bubbles that Freedom Baitz designed to mimic dying bait.

For walleye, rig the Ring of Fire on your preferred jig and troll it when fish are responding to moving presentations, particularly during the early-spring and late-fall periods Freedom Baitz recommends. The same 2.75-inch grub can be cast for summer bass or used when targeting larger panfish. Through each presentation, the deeper rings and soft construction are intended to keep the bait moving naturally while releasing tiny air bubbles into its path.
The name works on two levels. Its deeply ringed body made “Ring of Fire” a natural fit for the bait itself, while the name also comes from the military concept of a Ring of Fire conventional missile strategy. That connection brings Shannon Kruse's updated take on a classic fishing profile into the military-inspired naming tradition of veteran-owned Freedom Baitz.
Designer Shannon Kruse set out to improve the established ring-grub concept with deeper rings and softer plastic. Freedom Baitz says those changes are key to producing more natural action in the water.
In addition to contributing to the bait's action, Freedom Baitz says the rings release tiny air bubbles as the lure moves through the water, creating an effect intended to mimic dying bait.
Freedom Baitz recommends putting the Ring of Fire on a favorite jig and trolling it for walleye, specifically highlighting early spring and late fall. The bait can also be cast rather than trolled.
The Ring of Fire is a multi-species soft plastic. Freedom Baitz specifically identifies walleye, bass, and larger panfish as target species.
Shannon Kruse brought the concept to Freedom Baitz with the goal of improving the traditional ring grub. The resulting design uses deeper rings and softer plastic, giving a familiar fishing profile a distinctly Freedom Baitz treatment.
