This is a heavy jigged sculpin with the pointy part up. So it's perfect for fishing those troughs, buckets, rocks, deep holes, that fish live in. Cast in the shallows (hook point up keeps it from getting hung) then slide it into the deep water for aggressive eats and realistic sculpin presentation. Also perfect for drop off banks. Perfect for stiff 5+ wt rods. Fish on a floating streamer line for good jigging or a sink tip to really get it down to the bottom of the holes.
