In order to compliment its size (2/0) I ended up using 8 feathers for the wing

Looks like a baby bullhead. Very nice. I have wondered about young bullhead as a forage for smallies. My hometown river like many, goes back and forth from smallie water to bullhead water. I have wondered about using a bottom hugging small bullhead imitation in some of the transition zones. Sorry for the hijack.

2 sweet! I tie a smaller version with barred olive saddle and it's the best sculpin I've ever used.

Shoe - This looks like an OUTSTANDING imitation of sculpins, bullheads, madtoms, goby, etc... This thing will be a bass-slayer! I have GOT to add a dozen of these to my spring bass box. I'd like to make up a few with whiskers and a pair of extra heavy eyes to bounce it along the bottom. I think the heavy eyes will also keep the hook point up which may help reduce snags. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration. I think this one is a winner! :punk:
