RIO's Knotty Zirdle August 26 New Products This is a simple marabouThe Zirdle is a cross between a Girdle Bug and a Zonker, but we spiced ours up by knotting the legs, giving it a creepy crawly vibe. This pattern can pass as a leech or a sculpin, but we feel it shines as a fleeing crawdad. Its weight gives it a nice neutral behavior, allowing the legs and bunny to move enticingly.
