Overview
A modern sculpin imitation, the Chubby Muffin is a weighted streamer that uses a wool or dubbing head, barred rabbit strip tail and zonked body, and lead or tungsten weight to get deep fast. Designed to push water with its bulky head and swim with lifelike movement, it's a solid choice for targeting aggressive trout in deeper runs or murky conditions.
