Strike King Gurgle Toad – 3-3 – 4in – Black

The Strike King Gurgle Toad is a highly effective fishing lure specifically designed for topwater bass fishing. Known for its ability to create a commotion on the water's surface, the Gurgle Toad is an excellent choice for anglers looking to simulate the movement of prey. This lure's unique design allows it to generate rhythmic bubbles and surface ripples, mimicking the natural actions of a struggling frog or toad.

When paired with an Extra Wide Gap (EWG) hook, the Gurgle Toad offers a weedless presentation, allowing it to navigate through heavy cover without snagging, which is particularly advantageous when fishing in lily pads, grass, or submerged timber. Additionally, the Gurgle Toad's versatility is showcased when used as a trailer on the back of a buzzbait, enhancing the lure's vibration and making it irresistible to aggressive bass.

The dynamic movement of the Gurgle Toad's two curly-tail legs propels the lure forward, leaving a noticeable bubble trail that is known to trigger strong predatory responses from bass. The 4-inch size of the Gurgle Toad, combined with its realistic fleeing action, makes it an essential lure for serious bass anglers targeting big fish.
