Deer hair (bass-bug quality) Matching (dark olive shown) (several large clumps (collar and head))
How to tie it
Wrap the shank with lead wire; start the heavy thread and build ramps at both ends of the lead plus wraps over it so the body can't slide.
Tie in the dark-olive rabbit strip zonker-style at the rear: part the fur to bare a spot of hide, lash the hide square to the hook, then flip the strip back out of the way.
Tie in polar chenille with its fibers sweeping rearward and wrap it forward, stroking every fiber back with each turn for maximum movement; stop well short of the eye. Leave nearly the front half of the shank for the head.
Pull the rabbit strip forward over the top, tie it down at the front of the body, trim the tag into the fur, and bind securely.
Make matching pectoral fins: stack two webby grizzly saddle feathers, strip the bottom fluff, trim out the tips and round the edges cutting both at once so they mirror each other; tie one on each side, sweeping back.
Clean, comb, and stack a large clump of deer hair; flare it as a collar (two loose wraps, then pull tight) with the tips reaching well back. Flare, don't fully spin, so it stays on top and sides.
Spin and pack additional clumps of deer hair forward to the eye to fill out the oversized head; whip finish.
Trim the head broad and flat-bottomed. A sculpin's head is a major portion of the fish, leaving the collar tips long over the body.
