Finally, Signature Tyer Howard Croston sits down at the vise to add to our "World Championship Winning Flies" series. For this fly tying tutorial Howard walks us through tying one of his most productive jig streamers, Croston's Micro Rabbit Sculpin. While this is technically a streamer pattern, Howard primarily uses this fly on a euro nymphing setup or under and indicator and dead drifts it just like you would a nymph. While it can be jigged or stripped, he picks up far more fish when dead drifting this pattern. If we were you, we'd take Howard's advice on this one!

This pattern utilizes our Jig Force Hook, Slotted Tungsten Beads and our micro cut rabbit zonkers. The hide on them is just 2mm thick! To purchase the materials used in this fly, or the flies themselves, you can find it all here on our below.
