How to tie the Honey Badger Sculpin. Top EURO jigged STREAMER

The Honey Badger Sculpin is an original pattern of mine. This heavily weighted jigged streamer is super effective when it is slowly jigged near the bottom on a euro rig. The key to it is the pine squirrel zonker strip married with the UV polar chenille. Together the two give the perfect amount of movement and flash. In this fly tying tutorial, I give the step by step instructions for tying this pattern.

Make some room in your box for this one…it will catch you some fish!

Tight Lines!
