From swinging streamers through glacial rivers to presenting classic hairwings in tight quarters, the Okuma Connoisseur B Salmon Fly Rod gives salmon and steelhead anglers a responsive, well-balanced option built for two-handed casting techniques. The 24-ton carbon blank loads smoothly and recovers quickly, giving fly anglers the control needed to manage mends and deliver long, accurate presentations across complex holding water. A stainless steel hook keeper, double-footed SeaGuide stripper guides with titanium oxide inserts, and lightweight snake guides help manage line during swings and retrieves. An aluminum pipe reel seat with aluminum hoods secures large arbor reels under heavy load, while the tapered cork fore and rear grip offers a traditional feel for extended sessions on the water. Whether fishing sink tips or floating lines, the Connoisseur B’s balance and backbone support long casts, deep mends, and confident hooksets on aggressive takes. It’s a solid match for coho, Chinook, and large Great Lakes steelhead in rivers from British Columbia to New York.
