Description
The Gurgler Alarm is a versatile surface fly designed to imitate insects, crustaceans, and struggling baitfish. Originally developed by Jack Gartside, the Gurgler style gained traction for its versatility and effectiveness on a wide variety of species. RIO’s Gurgler Alarm takes the concept further by incorporating a heavy-duty saltwater hook and a weed guard, making it suitable for everything from freshwater bass to saltwater giants like tarpon. Its foam body creates enticing pops and splashes, drawing fish to strike in all types of conditions.
Pro Tip
On calm days, use a slower retrieve with subtle twitches to create delicate ripples, enticing finicky fish to investigate. The weed guard allows you to confidently work through grassy or snag-prone areas.
