El Sculpito Dos
Cheech - February 5, 2014
Shortly after writing this article, I started on tweaking the Sculpito into something that could be done with more readily available products. The major change is the head which is now made of Mega
Simi Seal. There is also one change that I made after making the video, and that's the thread that I use for the head of this fly. I was having issues with thread breakage when I wrapped the head due to having to cram it in between the barbell eyes so tight. I switched to GSP and it fixed the problem. GSP thread usually comes in black or white, so you may need to tag it with a marker. The olive and tan El Sculpito is among our top selling flies on the site, and we see pictures from all over the country with fish that have been fooled by this pattern.
