There are so many variations of the clouser minnow, its hard to keep track of them all.  One of my favorites though is this sparkle clouser.  Especially when I have fish that are super aggressive, looking for shiny and fast moving lures.  

Being tied with all flashabou, this will shimmer and shine in the water, attracting fish from far away.  It also moves quite quickly and sinks very quickly as well.  Its a great little fly which I have used to catch smallmouth and largemouth bass, barracuda, crappie, redfish, sea trout, striper, and even trout.  They were tied with different sized hooks though for each of those species.  Also, there are other fish this fly would catch well, just I haven't actually fished for them with it yet.
