Smile Cone Head Sculpin Step by step

One of my favorite sculpin patterns.

Cone head Sculpin


Hook Tiemco 200R or Daiichi 1260 size 8 to 4.
Start with a black cone head. Tie in 2 partridge feathers side by side for the tail.



Tie in a gold rib. Dub some green rabbit fur for the body 2/3rds of the way down the body.


Put a hot spot of red dubbing at the front of the green dubbing. Then wrap the gold wire rib forward and tie it off.


Spin in some olive green deer hair behind the cone head.


Tie off the thread behind the cone head.


Trim back the spun deer hair. Leaving a sparce bit of the long deer hair on the top and sides.


Trim the bottom of the deer hair so you can see the body and the red hot spot.



The finished Cone Head Sculpin
