I agree with everyone else, epsy wayne's FLASH statement...

Last winter, I discovered the Clouser Darter and have been using it almost exclusively this year for SMB. The fish certainly prefer flashabou over crystal flash. The flat strands of flashabou waver in the water and flash akin to a spinner blade. I think it's a great attractor and the fish agree. They CHARGE the flashabou tied one's from 10 feet away -vs- follow and might hit the one's tied with crystal flash.
