Clouser Minnow patterns

I am not an avid Bass fisherman. I am looking for some proven Clouser minnow
patterns that work real well. I know how to tie these I am just not sure on
real good color combinations to use. If you have a favorite Bass pattern I
sure would appreciate your input.
Thanks in advance

Up here brown/white clousers work very well. Bass don't need fancy, just
something that looks edible.

Brown & white. Black & white or grey. All white. All Black. Chartreuse &
white. Green & white. Yellow & white. Pink & white. Blue & white......I
think you get the idea. ;-) I think movement is as much a trigger, if
not more, than color. I've caught more bass on Wooly Bugger variations,
than I have Clousers. My favorite patterns are topwater poppers. Again,
color doesn't seem to be the key(although, I use a lot of yellow and
black poppers)as much as movement. I like my poppers to have rubber legs.

Try chartreuse over white, black over chartreuse over yellow (fire tiger?),
red squirrel tail or brown squirrel tail (crawfish imitation).I tie a simple
crawfish pattern that is nothing more than a pair of dumbbell eyes on a
dubbed long shank hook with a bunch of squirrel tail on top (ends up on the
bottom). It takes less time to tie than to lose!

Try adding a few strands of crystal flash or flashabou at the lateral line.
