Gurgler
Hook: Mustad 36007 size 1/0
Tail: White craft fur marked with brown sharpie
Body: UV Polar Chenille and grizzly variant saddle hackle
Back: White foam
This particular variation of the gurgler is my go to topwater redfish and speckled seatrout fly. Other colors that work really well are all white and chart.. The all white version actually caught my buddy Andy this speckled trout:
Gator trout
Andy’s guide claimed that it was the largest trout put in his in years. So yeah, it’s a pretty effective fly.
Looks shrimpy to me, nice! Guys here are using them on sinking lines for their wobble underwater for large trout, of course many variations.
Gregg
I want to tie some up with rattles and try them out.
I bet fishing them on a sinking line for largemouth would work too. Be kind of like a crankbait. Hmmmmmm… Thanks for the idea!
hey Acey !
i totally agree with Gregg, fished ‘booby-style’, variants of Jack’s Gurgler have been my no. 1 producer on lake fish in the last 4-5 years that i’ve been using them this way.
i’ll have a few pics of the micro ones i use most on The Cobra soon.
cheers,

Sweet!
I’ll definitely try it out when the weather get’s hot and the fish go deep again.
the technique comes straight from the UK reservoir competition scene. although not unheard of, this method isn’t so common in the states. lemme know if you want any tips and stuff, ok ? : )
hey man, it’s been a long time since we heard of you…
everything cool ?
Yeah, everything’s good, thanks.
The kids are on spring break, my wife’s a teacher, so she’s home and on the computer and the little bit of free time I’ve had has been spent fishing. I’ll be back at it next week.
