I use a slightly different test . If I can cast it over 100' with my flyrod then its probably a fly.

Most of the 'Clousers are jigs' flyfishermen that I've come across, routinely use split shot or pieces of lead core to get their flies deeper. So what difference does it make if the lead is on the fly or on the line??

There are zillions of different fly styles and patterns out there, but none that I know of even come close to being as effective as a Clouser.
