Heavy baitfish
Weighted Clouser
Deep search fly
Sea bassDeep
A Clouser tied with heavier dumbbell eyes for deeper water and stronger current. The practical depth-search option without going to a full sinking line.
Fish this when
Ebb channels, gullies, tide rips, deeper estuary marks. When fish are below the reach of standard intermediate-line patterns.
Why it works
Reaches the taking depth on the cast-mend-allow sequence. Sparse dressing keeps it casting cleanly even with heavy eyes.
