FMF Slinky Clouser

FMF Slinky Clouser

The Fulling Mill Slinky Clouser is one of the most efficient models I have had the opportunity to test and use while guiding and fishing with friends for several years.

It is a real bass magnet and I can testify to its efficiency as it has caught hundreds of bass of all sizes (and a few sea breams), especially in sizes #06 and #02.

It is also a top pattern for stalking tropical game fish and the Jacks from Kéré in the Bijagos islands remember it (in size #02 and #2/0).

My professional and personal choice as a professional saltwater fly fishing guide for European sea bass.

Hook size
999706
€3.67

 

Available sizes: #06, #02 & 2/0

Instructions for use
This is an easy fly to cast with 7 to 8 weight rods and specialized sea bass intermediate lines, but also sinking lines.
It also works very well with a floating line in shallow water between the rows of oyster beds and all areas of shallow calm water at the end of the outgoing tide and the very beginning of the incoming tide.
What makes it so attractive, beyond the jerky swimming of the clouser type rig, is the gradation of colors of the wing and its red eye.

To enhance its action, this fly has to be connected to the tippet with a loop type knot (Perfection Loop & Homer Rhode knots)

The smaller the model used, the longer and thinner the leader tippet should be (discretion when casting and elasticity when striking larger fish). Ideally a SW fluorocarbon tippet of Rio and SA types
• 6 to 10 lbs for size #06
• 10 to 16 lbs for size #02
• 16 lbs and over for size #2/0

The retrieve of the fly line must be done rod tip under water, by long pulls on the line more or less fast and jerky, so as to make the fly glide, then tumble.
The strike is generally straightforward and violent.
But it can be very subtle on larger, more educated fish.
Any loss of contact must be sanctioned by a strong strike by pulling on the line with the left hand (right hand for left-handers).
Very often, this surprising fly is frankly swallowed right after the first line strip after it enters the water.

Tied on a Tiemco 811 hook.
