A long proven must for Atlantic salmon on the storied rivers of eastern Canada, and a trusty favorite for steelhead on many western fisheries too, the Black Bear Green Butt is equally deadly on both the deep-sunk and near-surface swings. Surprisingly effective in smaller sizes when waked or skated using the riffle hitch technique as well, the Black Bear Green Butt is a wise and reliable choice indeed.
