In both estuaries and offshore there is an abundance of pelagic species that are comfortably targeted on fly. They tend to be be quite nomadic chasing the schools of various types of bait fish. These flies have been developed particularly for targeting queenfish, giant trevally, various tuna species and mackerel.
They have also been very successful in blue water when targeting non pelagic species such as barramundi, bream, flathead, grunter and fingermark.

{{+1}}Mutant clouser – natural{{-1}}

if I could only carry one colour mutant clouser 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.{{end}}

in the process of Tiewell being sold and reinvented the large rubber tails for #2/0 versions of my estuary fly never came back on the market. What I have come up with as an alternative is using the rear half of the 2.5? Z Man Grub Z. That has created an even better fly.{{end}}

{{+1}}Clouser – synthetic MKII{{-1}}
{{start}}
This is my favourite version of the clouser for use when targeting fish holding deep and is tied with H2O slinky fibre which makes the fly present as slightly translucent.{{end}}

{{+1}}Clouser – synthetic{{-1}}
{{start}}
The down side to a bucktail clouser is that it is not a durable fly. This is a very viable and durable synthetic version which visually, in form and in function is hard to pick from a natural bucktail version.{{end}}
