When crappie, bluegill, and perch are holding close to structure, a small plastic lets you keep the presentation compact and controlled. The Freedom Baitz Trident is a 1.25-inch panfish grub with a rounded head and long trailing tentacle, creating a simple live-prey profile for vertical jigging and slow-moving presentations in open water or through the ice.

Pair the Trident with a small tungsten jig and vertically work it around crappie, bluegill, or perch holding near cover and structure. In open water, it can also be worked slowly back toward the boat, giving you another way to move the compact profile through the strike zone while the long tentacle trails behind the rounded body.
