The Gurgler was originally designed for saltwater by Jack Gartside and has become an effective freshwater pattern, especially for Bass. The name comes from the sound it makes from its top lip the gurgling sound, which creates a commotion to attract fish. The Gurgler has evolved over the years and has been a top producer of a variety of species.
