tying with wool

[mike doughty]

i'm new to it and was wondering what is the best way to make a nice sculpin head with it? i have been applying it like dubbing, but it doesn't look as nice as some of the others i have seen

[Mark Ritari]

i am having the same problems as you.

Tie it like you would deer hair in bunches around the hook, brush it out like an afro wig and then trim it like a pom pon into shape.

Yes that will do, its not really hard to do as I thought, even I can do them now, and they don't have to be perfect for the fish to like them.
