Popping Shrimp (gurgler variant) Step-by-Step

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

It's been a busy few months for me, and it appears I haven't shared a Step-by-Step since early June.  With temperatures cooling, however, I've begun restocking for trips to the marsh and thought I'd share one of my favorite topwater offering when chasing reds.

A gurgler variant at its core, the Popping Shrimp has paid dividends for me when targeting shallow water reds at first light.

For those interested, the full step-by-step can be found at the link:
