Default Favorite streamer

What is your favorite or go to streamer pattern? Im sure most people are going to say woolly bugger, muddler minnow, and clouser but im still interested to see what people say. I haven't fished streamers that much but from what i have fished ide say size 10 olive woolly bugger. Probably the most common streamers there is, but its for a good reason. It works amazing.

So what are your guys favorite streamers?

Thanks

Of course the wooly bugger is my favorite in brown or black because it is what I have the most success with. But I have tried clouser minnows, sex dungeons, zoo cougars, etc with some success. It is just hard not to always go back to what works.

black bugger with silver cone head or black/olive bugger. Had a lot of luck with white leech patterns with gerrards last while.
