Missile Baits Unleashes the Freedom Flyers and Eye Roll Jig Head for Ultimate Minnow Action
Salem, VA – July 14, 2025 – Missile Baits continues to expand its premium soft plastics lineup with the launch of the all-new Freedom Flyer 4.25 and Freedom Flyer 6.0, soft plastic minnow baits designed for maximum rolling action and versatility. Pairing seamlessly with the new Eye Roll jig head, this dynamic duo gives anglers the lifelike movement and precision needed to fool even the most pressured fish.
Crafted with Missile Baits' signature attention to detail, the Freedom Flyers feature a minnow shaped body with unique up-pitch elevators on the rear of the bait that cause easy swimming and rolling action. Measuring in at 4.25 and 6.0 inches, both are the perfect profile for targeting bass feeding on shad, minnows, and other baitfish. Whether you’re fishing it on the brand-new Eye Roll jig head, weightless Texas rigged, or on a Carolina rig, the Freedom Flyers deliver subtle yet deadly action in any water clarity.
“The Freedom Flyer is a bait we’ve been working on for a long time,” said John Crews, professional angler and owner of Missile Baits. “We wanted something that had a natural and functional baitfish profile but also rolls with ease because of the up-pitch elevators on the rear portion. It’s money on a jig head like the Eye Roll, but just as deadly fished like a fluke, on a Carolina rig, or on a scrounger head.”
The Eye Roll jig head was developed to complement the Freedom Flyer perfectly. Designed with a welded stainless-steel ring and oversized 3D eyes, the Eye Roll offers increased rolling and wobbling action that enhances the Freedom Flyer’s rolling and swimming action. With a custom, super slick VMC hook and wire bait keeper, the Eye Roll provides anglers with a reliable and effective tool for targeting suspended or bottom-oriented fish. Available in multiple head weights and finishes, the Eye Roll gives anglers the freedom to fish any depth with pinpoint control.
