Work a Compact Panfish Profile Around Cover and Structure

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.

  • ✅ Can be vertically jigged or worked slowly back toward the boat to change how the bait moves through the strike zone
  • ✅ Made for working near fish-holding cover and structure in both open-water and hard-water seasons
  • ✅ Made with Freedom Baitz's proprietary plastic blend developed to combine softness, durability, and lifelike underwater movement
  • ✅ Carries the veteran-owned company's military-inspired naming tradition with a name taken from the Trident ballistic missile

Real-World Performance

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.

Keep a Simple Finesse Profile in the Panfish Rotation

Add the Trident when you want a compact Freedom Baitz plastic for controlled tungsten-jig presentations through the ice or around open-water structure.
