Bob Clouser developed and popularized the Clouser Minnow, producing a devastatingly effective pattern. I have caught a huge number of fish on clousers, mostly smallmouth and striped bass, but pretty well anything that will hit a minnow will take a clouser.

The clouser is a very straightforward pattern to tie despite it being done upside down. There are a great number of variations out there, but the basics of underslung eyes and upturned hook point always betray the origins.
