siestafred 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2006 Jon Boy.... If it's working, you could ignore this. But I fish Clousers all the time in Florida, and the mantra is to keep the dressing sparse. Less is more, sort of thing. We tie ours with about half the bucktail you have in yours. You could also try adding a thin layer of tan bucktail between the pink and the white. Hope that helps ! Here's one made from Polar Fiber... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean Juan 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2006 I don't know much about European Sea Bass, but someone once said they are a lot like Stripped Bass only without the stripes... Pink is an awesome color - I generally assume it has to do with the fish's perference for squid, but it could be anything really. When its not working another great clouser color is black over blue - I have no idea why this works but it does. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barra 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2006 Hi guys Im new in here and based in the UK The pink clouser is a bit of a classic over here these days. We tend to tie them with polar bear fur and have wing and flash blended in. Also we use spirit river gold dazl eyes hook size 4 # Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
