Black & Brown SBC - Pike streamer
Black & Brown SBC – the darker, more subdued sibling of Black & Gold. A dark silhouette with a chocolate accent, this fly pays tribute to patterns that always get the job done – regardless of the season, water conditions, or the fish’s mood.

TARGET SPECIES: Pike, zander, perch, and other predators – especially where natural presentation gives you the edge
The fly casts light and accurate – easily handled even with a #8 rod, but performs best with a #9.
During false casts, it sheds water quickly and forms a sleek bullet shape.
In the water it swells, pulses, and flows – delivering a strong yet natural signal.
It appears large but remains lightweight and easy to control.
You don’t need to animate it – but if you give it some action, it can surprise you with its unpredictable movement.
Also works great with a spinning rod.
Just add a Cheburashka and fish it the way you like best – on the drop, like a jerkbait, or in your own style.
