New Sculpin Fly - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

I developed a new striper fly that imitates a baby sculpin. The pattern is based on a muddler style with large pectoral fins and a spun deer hair head. The overall color is orange with black barring and spotting. I'm curious as to if anyone has tried a s culpin pattern on stripers? The overall length of the fly is 61/2".

I've never tried one . But I know someone who likes to live line them, so I think it will work. Got a picture?

Here is my Baby Sculpin I promised you. Both of these flies are very effective when fished close to the rocks.
