More baitfish-shaped than a Gurgler. Designed by Joe Blados for surface fish actively pushing prey on top.
Fish this when
Bass visibly pushing baitfish on the surface — school fish on harbour fry, late-summer sand bars, calm chop. The autumn fry-smashing scene in particular.
Why it works
A wounded-baitfish silhouette on top, with foam keeping it visible. Pause longer when fish follow — the take comes on the stillness.
