Black & Gold SBG - Pike streamer

Black & Gold SBG is one of those patterns that needs no introduction. An incredibly versatile fly with countless pike, zander, perch – and probably a few unnamed species – to its credit. A favorite of Steffen Schulz and many others. Like most black lures, it works always and everywhere. If we had to pick just one fly to take to a desert island, this would be it.

Available in two lengths: 13 cm and 18 cm – choose the right size depending on water conditions and fish activity.

The fly casts light and accurate – easily handled even with a #8 rod, but works best with #9.
Sheds water quickly during false casts and folds into a streamlined bullet shape.
In the water it swells, pulses, and undulates – giving off a strong yet natural signal.
Visually large, yet light and easy to control.
You don’t have to animate it – but if you give it some hand action, it can surprise with unpredictable moves.

It also works great with a spinning rod.
Just add a Cheburashka and fish it your way – on the drop, like a jerkbait, or however you like best.
A baitfish pattern that starts working immediately – no overthinking needed.
