JSzymczyk 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2011 OK, I'm a posting idiot, I don't know why my pics disappeared after I edited them. Trying again: "Clouser Deep Minnow" version of the pink and chartreuse "Electric Chicken" color combo. This is a surprisingly good producer for everything, fresh and salt. Hook: either 3366 or choice of 3xl streamer hook, or whatever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FishDragon 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2011 Here is my first clouser Trying to imitate a small bait fish that we call "Silversides". Looks very similar to smelt but smaller and with brighter colors as well as a silver streak down both sides. Need a smaller head for sure lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
