Leftys and Minnows
What's the difference between Lefty's Decievers and Clouser Minnows? I
thought at first that Clousers had upturned hooks, but then I found a site that showed a bunch that had the hooks down. Then I thought that maybe Deceivers had some sort of feather between the bucktail, but that doesn't seem entirely so either. Can anyone point me to a link, or explain it to me? --riverman

Clousers normall do fish inverted, the site may simply have them photographed in the tying position. Lefty's do have feathers in between the bucktail. You can'trely on everything you see on the web ... Having said that, and just to complete the set that Steve linked in ... http://members.ij.net/danscustomflys/HalfnHalfPage.html Steve

A big difference between the Clouser and the Deceiver, to me, is that Clousers are tied with weighted eyes and Deceivers aren't. I'm pretty sure you can find counterexamples if you look hard enough. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address.
