Ken’s High Profile Clouser was developed to solve a specific fishing problem: getting fish to eat when they are feeding on broader-bodied baitfish that a traditional Clouser Minnow may not adequately imitate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile guiding the flats and backcountry waters of Tampa Bay, Capt. Ken regularly encounters snook, redfish, and spotted seatrout feeding around mangrove cuts and passes during moving tides. Baitfish wash through these areas, attracting predators looking for an easy meal. The challenge is fishing these deeper cuts, often 4–6 feet deep, while using a floating fly line.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis custom pattern combines a higher-profile baitfish silhouette with carefully selected weight, allowing it to fish effectively in these situations. It is designed to drift naturally through the current and respond to short, sharp strips that make the fly keel and change direction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Half and Half Version\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Half and Half version adds another level of movement to the original High Profile Clouser.
