Clousers are universally recognised as amazing fish catchers, but the rattling version is a bit obscure for some reason. It shouldn't be obscure because it's deadly effective, especially in stained or muddy water. The noise from the rattle is a known trigger for game fish and plays on their lateral line helping them home in on the fly from a distance and encourages the eat.
