Mini Loop Sculpin

The Mini Loop Sculpin, designed by Tom Larimer during his guiding career in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, is a compact sculpin imitation that effectively mimics the natural prey of trout and steelhead. Originally tied on a tube, this pattern has evolved to be tied on shanks, featuring a rabbit strip body and a looped stinger hook for enhanced movement and hook-setting efficiency. Its design allows for versatile fishing techniques, making it a reliable choice for targeting predatory fish in various water conditions
