Put a Responsive Flapping Tail in Front of Panfish

Small movements can make a big difference when crappie, bluegill, and perch are focused on a compact presentation. The Freedom Baitz Tomahawk pairs a slender body with a broad, angular tail that responds to subtle jigging input, giving anglers an active soft-plastic option for both ice fishing and open water.

Real-World Performance

Thread the Tomahawk onto a jig head and work it around fish-holding structure with controlled jigging movements. For open-water crappie, the 2-inch version can be vertically jigged around cover such as sunken trees, where its large angular tail displaces water, slows the fall, and continues moving in the strike zone. The smaller profile also gives ice anglers a compact panfish presentation.

Give Subtle Jigging a More Active Tail

Add the Tomahawk when you want a panfish plastic that turns restrained jigging input into noticeable tail movement, with two sizes to cover ice and open-water presentations.
