Missile Baits Freedom Flyer Minnow Bait

The Freedom Flyer is a minnow-shaped soft plastic designed for rolling and darting action. Offered in 4.25- and 6-inch sizes, it can imitate different classes of baitfish while remaining versatile enough for jig heads, moving-bait trailers and weightless presentations.

Why anglers choose it

• Minnow profile with rolling and darting action
• Available in 4.25- and 6-inch sizes
• Protective clamshell helps the bait retain its shape

How to fish it

Thread it straight on a jig head for strolling, mid-strolling or a steady swimming retrieve. It also works as a ChatterBait trailer, on a Scrounger-style head, or weightless with twitches and pauses. Use the 4.25-inch size for a compact forage match and the 6-inch size when bass are feeding on larger shad, herring or minnows.

Best techniques

jig-head minnow, strolling, mid-strolling, bladed jig trailer, Scrounger head, weightless minnow.

Where and when to use it

Fish it through suspended bait, over points and brush, beside docks, above grass or across open-water structure. Natural colors are suited to clear water, while brighter or higher-contrast patterns help in stain.

Target species

Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and spotted bass; the 6-inch size can also appeal to striped bass where appropriate.
