Strident Trident needs a buff/rework

[Baark0]

I've been testing this item out thanks to WX's shadow affinity and I've gotta say that this item just sucks. The geyser range is small, the damage is mediocre outside of boats even if it is good on boats (which doesn't mean much when you normally have to kill crab king, the hardest ocean boss, before you can make and use the item, and every other ocean enemy does not need a 76 damage weapon to kill quickly), fishing with this item is actually terrible (the geysers do nothing to try and make fish land on your boats, so 9 times out of 10 the fish will fly off in a random direction, wasting one of the 50 geyser casts you get), and the gnarwail horns you need to craft it are really annoying to get. 

I'm surprised it didn't get changed when crab king got reworked. The only real use this weapon has is as a way to take out sea stacks from a distance, which is pretty sad for a boss weapon. Its not even a unique niche, as weather pains can do the same thing, even if they are more expensive. In the case of WX, there's no reason to dupe tridents, as you'd be better off duping weather pains which are much more versatile and useful in more scenarios.

Just move it to pre crabking and make gnarwails spawn more frequently and it might have a few niche uses

The strident trident should let you surf around on it and do tricks

It should have slots to add gems. The effects it has, should change depending on the combination of gems you add to it.
Same idea as how you can change the crab king fight.
