Bass Fly Tying, Weedless Gurgler

This is a new take on a proven classic.By using an offset worm hook I have made a totally weedless version of Jack Gartside's classic Gurgler top water fly. Tie them in a range of sizes and colours totarget any species that likes heavy weed and grass, from bass, to redfish, jacks and snakehead. It's a killer.

Love it. I knew Jack Gartside and he would approve of the adaptions.

This is one helluva pattern, thanks man. The wheel has been re-invented!!

[@FlickingFeathers]

redshaftedflicker thanks man! I've been tweaking it since the video but it's a killer. Hope you get a bunch of mossy bites on it.
Tight lines

Going to tie a few of these up for bullseye snakehead here in South Florida. Excellent pattern, cheers!

GENIUS. Tying one as we speak

[@FlickingFeathers]

Glad you liked it... don't expect it to last very long, but they really work

[@rWmyoutube]

Truly outstanding!!

[@FlickingFeathers]

Thanks

[@randychappell5955]

I finally subscribed. I really like the way you make it look so simple. I'm sure it is for experienced tyers? But I'm not very good at it. I gotta try it though.

[@FlickingFeathers]

Thanks for the sub. Just keep practicing and you'll get there

[@TheStreamUrchin1]

wow

[@MultiJoeyo]

nice , personally I would pass on the eye ,

[@FlickingFeathers]

joe orefice I add it as I feel more confident with baitfish that have eyes, it's generally much quicker to add than in the video because of not reaching around the camera. But of course, if you are tying your own tie them how you like

[@selder03]

awesome, what size rod and line you throwing with this one?

[@FlickingFeathers]

+Scott Elder Hi Scott, for snakehead in the heavy weed I use 8-10 and 6-8 for bass. Other wise just match it to the fish. Hope you can get some fish on this one.

Like the idea but that looks like a fouling mess

[@FlickingFeathers]

What's to foul? The hair is held to the foam with the resin and is too short to wrap on the hook.
I've been using these for years with good results for bass and snakehead - it never fouls

[@GrantSummerlin]

I concur. Zero fouling, and I don’t use the UV glue on the buck tail.

Nice job... can't understand much of the narration. Clicked on the captions, I dont read ANY Russian!

[@Piffilus]

just learn to understand english then, with an Glaswegian accent. English is my second language and I understand it fine.
