Gartside Gurgler, Marabou Tail This is the original Gurgler, but with a marabou tail, first designed and tied by me in 1988. Since that time it's been hailed by many experts as one of the single best topwater flies you could ever tie onto the end of your leader.

This Gurgler is tied on your choice of a regular or long shank hook with a marabou tail, which is more active than bucktail but not so durable, which is why I tie and fish most of my freshwater Gurglers with a marabou tail and my saltwater Gurglers with a bucktail tail.

When two colors are used in the description the first color refers to the color of the foam shell, the second to the color of the marabou tail and /or the ribbing hackle. For a more varied color selection see Double Gurgler.
