Default bass gurgler help please

Some local fly fishers are organizing a massacre/fish fry to help
Fish and Wildlife reduce the population of LMB illegally
introduced into a nearby trout lake. Back when I lived in FL, I
had bunches of bass flies, but they seem to have gone astray.

I want to tie some bass flies, but don't want to buy lots of new
materials (dyed deer hair, popper bodies, etc.). I'm OK for
bunny leeches, large buggers, clousers, etc., and I have the
makings, I think, for gurglers, but I have some questions:

- What colors and combinations of colors have you found effective
for LMB? Same as for bass`poppers?

- If you're using several layers of thin foam instead of one
thick piece, do you glue them together, or just rely on holding
them together with thread wraps?

- What sort/sizes of hooks? In larger sizes, I've only got TMC
300s and 5263s but I suspect the shanks on these may be too long
for gurglers.

Thanks,

- JR
