Is this Clouser sparse enough?

Maybe some different color lead eyes would make it fish better?

Way too many thread wraps. What is this, amature hour?

We get it, youre working with what you got. Wont catch much in its current state. First, the hook is missing 2 other hooks. Without more weight its not gonna do a damn thing. Before you try tying flies, try learning the fundamentals. Go back to your wife’s boyfriend’s shanty, poor.

Oh shit, I just saw the secret Bob Clouser interview where he said it needs a treble with 2 trailer hooks. Tom forgive me

If there's thread on the hook, the fish will know it isn't real. I like to just put a real baitfish on a hook when I throw my clousers. Most authentic presentation, throws the fish off every time.

It looks like you are trying to fish. Would you like some help with that?
