gurgler baitfish

[mcfluffchucker 0]

was looking for a big surface bait for pike so thought why not stick a fish behind a gurgler head hey ho gurgler baitfish was born , probably been done before but couldnt find anything anybody seen anything simular to it

 

first thing was to get a pile of foam on the hook

 

tie a fish behind it

 

7 inch gurgler baitfish

 

I'm liking it but would be interested to see if there is anything similar out there id imagine there maybe some bill fish patterns that are the same

you can get them direct from the company in the uk they do ship to the states . if you want a lighter hook the manta is also great the extra is a bit tougher

 

sakuma manta extra

 

hope that helps

I like it. I could see pike and musky tracking that down. interestingly, I could also see that as a coho/silver pattern in the saltwater. fish it in kelp beds or in bait balls on the surface and coho would have no issues tackling it even a big chinook.

Great looking fly and a great idea! I love using both gurglers and baitfish patterns but never thought of combining the two into one fly. Let us know how it works
