The Roaming Sculpin is a bottom crawling sculpin that has a lot of movement. There are a few different materials that make this fly up, however there isn't too much of any one material. This helps with profile and movement in the water. Can't wait to try it out of some warmwater predators.

Hook: B10S stinger hook sz. 1
Thread: Uni Thread 6/0 - olive
Tail: Rabbit Zonker - Sculpin Olive
Body: UV Polar Chenille - olive and brown
Collar 1: Rooster Saddle - Olive
Collar 2: Mallard Flank - Natural
Legs or Fins: Sili Legs - Barred Olive
Collar 3: Dubbing Loop of Rabbit - Sculpin Olive
