RIO Gurgler Alarm – Alarm Redfish

When redfish are looking up instead of down, the Gurgler Alarm delivers the kind of surface commotion that gets noticed fast. This topwater pattern is built to push water, grab attention, and trigger aggressive eats from fish cruising shallow flats.

Tied on a heavy-duty saltwater hook and equipped with a weed guard, the Gurgler Alarm is designed for real-world conditions — tailing reds in grass, laid-up fish along marsh edges, or anything hunting along the surface.

The buoyant profile creates a distinct waking and popping action that mimics struggling bait or fleeing prey, making it an ideal choice when you want to keep your presentation visible and provoke reaction strikes rather than subtle takes.

While built with redfish in mind, this versatile surface fly will draw interest from everything from bass to juvenile tarpon when fish are keyed in on topwater movement.

A dependable go-to when conditions call for noise, visibility, and attitude on the surface.
