Billy Bay 778 Pop N' Gurgle Float
The Billy Bay 778 Pop N' Gurgle Float is designed to create attention-grabbing surface disturbance that mimics feeding baitfish, helping draw predatory game fish to your presentation. The unique Pop N' Gurgle design produces both popping and gurgling sounds with each twitch of the rod, making it an excellent choice for fishing live bait or artificial lures in shallow coastal waters.
Whether you're targeting red drum, speckled trout, flounder, or other inshore species, the Billy Bay 778 Pop N' Gurgle Float helps keep your bait suspended while creating the commotion needed to trigger aggressive strikes. Ideal for marshes, grass flats, sounds, and estuaries throughout the Outer Banks. Available at Frank & Fran's in Avon, NC, and ships nationwide.
