mark poulson Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) I took my new sculpins out for a swim yesterday. I fished them with both weighted Falcon hooks, and football jigs. The good news...they swim like I hoped, with the side fins folding back against the body on the pull, and then springing back out to the sides on the pause. They move very easily, and the thin tail wiggles, too. The bad news...I got bit on a baby bass laminate on the football jig, but no hookups. It was a tough bite, probably not the best test day, but I wanted to see if they swam right, and they do. I'm going to try and add a drop of plastic behind the side fins, to flare them even more on the pause. I'm also going to make a 3" version.

mark poulson Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Can you post a picture of them? Look in soft baits forum. I have a brown one there, and another in a baby bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
