Mutant clouser – natural

 

I tie my mutant clousers in a range of colours and from size #1 up to #4/0 and if I could only carry one colour that would be olive over UV shrimp. That one colour tied in a range of sizes covers a big cross section of fish that I target in Central Queensland.

In the smaller sizes it's great for estuary and coastal species such as bream, flathead and whiting. Moving up to #2/0 sizes and you have smaller pelagics, drummer, fingermark and jacks covered and in the #3/0 and #4/0 sizes you ready to target big pelagics including tuna, queenies, mackerel and GT's.
