Anything on Gurglers?

Gurglers are money for snook and juvi tarpon.

I throw a riff on an old school gartside when the summer tides get higher.

I don't like alot of material on mine...like them to ride high and pop...

Bucktail, hackle feather, foam...flash is optional...

For what it's worth here are some of my shrimp gurglers. They didn't pop big enough so added lil foam at the plastic disc in front.
BTW the hump in the middle is 5mm glass rattle.

Gurgs always cast much more easily than I expect and provoke some explosive eats. I’ve always got a few in my box.

The gurgler remains my all time favorite fly fresh & salt. I have caught more fish and more species on a gurgler than any other fly. But maybe because its my confidence bait. Unlike a lot of other gurglers posted, I don't actually go for a high floating "popping" gurgler. I use a well proportioned tail & body to give it a full fishy profile with a lot of movement. I like mine to just float the surface and put off a nice wake. Rather than popping it, i give it three or four baby strips and then pause a couple seconds. It looks just like a tail hooked finger mullet nervously milling at the surface. That being said, it works best in very calm conditions because it is very subtle. Sometimes I will tie a more foam heavy gurg with less body material to actually get a good pop when I need my fly to be noticed. My two best snook have been on the subtle gurg and they launched clean out of the water when they ate it. Nothing beats a gurgler bite!
