My Sculpin Tie W/hook Up

[TArcher]

It may not be the norm but I had an idea. I see where some people want to be or tie hook up on a sculpin pattern to help keep from getting snagged on a rock. I may not be the first to think of this but I haven't seen anyone use this type of hook to tie a sculpin pattern. Anyway here she is.... From the eye of hook to end of hide on rabbit strip measures 3 1/8" but the hair hangs back of course making the overall length 4". The hook is a Eagle Claw Lazer sharp 1/0 offset worm hook from Wal-mart.

So what do ya think?

If the hook is sharp ... use it!

Those hooks are sharp enough to go through the jaw of a bass or a walleye...

Then they should give a very LOVELY "lip piercing" to a nice trout..

Also I like the colors..

Nice tie, looks killer especially that dark photo from the top. Gives me an Idea or two

I like it. What size dumbbell eyes did you use?

That's a winner, good move on the hook style.

I've tied Clousers on popper hooks and they will insure an upright hook point. I understand that others tie on 60degree jig hooks to insure an upright stance.

I imagine you'll have to try it to see whether or not the hook gap will make a difference.
