Soft Hackle Gurgler "Catches Fish like Crazy!" writes one well-known fly fisherman.

This version of the Gurgler is tied on a long-shank Daiichi japanned hook and features a full marabou tail and marabou hackle palmered over the underbody to present a much wider profile than the traditional Gurgler.

Use this fly whenever you want to imitate a broad-bellied baitfish or simply want to present a "mouthful" on the surface. Though wide in profile it slims down a bit when wet and is easy to cast.

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 tail feathers and/or the ribbing hackle.

Shown here is a Tan & Black Soft Hackle Gurgler.
