Boss Shad Small Trident

Boss Shad Small Trident – The Heavyweight Champ of 9" Rubber

Don’t let the name fool you—the Boss Shad Small Trident is a serious piece of hardware designed for big fish. Measuring in at 9 inches and weighing a substantial 8 oz, this bait is built to move water, create a massive profile, and reach the depths where trophy muskies and pike over-winter.

The Small Trident is a hybrid powerhouse. It combines the rhythmic, thumping tail action of a swimbait with the erratic, vertical "death-spiral" of a weighted jerkbait. At 8 oz, it’s a dream for anglers who need to maintain contact with their lure in heavy wind or deep current, ensuring you stay in the strike zone longer than the competition.

Why the Trident Dominates:

• Heavyweight Performance: The 8 oz weight allows for long, accurate casts and a fast sink rate to target deep weed edges and rock piles.

• Signature Head-Down Dive: On the pause, the bait mimics a dying forage fish, nose-diving toward the bottom—a movement that triggers a musky's predatory instinct.

• Musky-Tough Build: Hand-poured with high-grade rubber and rigged with heavy-duty components to ensure it survives the "figure-8" and beyond.

Select Your Weapon (Stocked Colors):

• Crappie: The perfect "match the hatch" for Midwest lakes.

• Christmas Ale: High-vis orange and green tones for stained or "brewed" water.

• Walleye: A classic forage mimic that works on any body of water.

• Black Sparkle: Maximum silhouette; a must-have for night fishing or overcast days.

• Blue Pearl: Subtle flash and natural tones for high-visibility, clear-water situations.

• Sierra Mist: A bright, high-contrast producer that excels in sun-drenched conditions.

💡 Pro Tip from the Water:

Because the Small Trident weighs 8 oz, it carries a lot of inertia. Instead of using your reel to move the bait, use long, sweeping rod pulls. This allows you to feel the vibration of the tail more clearly. When you reach the end of your sweep, "kill" the bait by shoving your rod tip back toward the lure. That sudden slack allows the Trident to execute its signature 9-inch nose dive, which is the #1 trigger for a following fish to finally commit.
