The Sterling Tackle 18in Tracker Bar with 6in Machines is a popular and highly effective spreader bar that is known for its excellent performance. It is designed to increase the width of your spread and ensure that all positions are covered.
This spreader bar is built on a high-grade titanium bar with a diameter of .125 inches. It is pre-rigged and has been tested and proven to catch pelagic fish such as tuna, dolphin, billfish, and more.
One of the standout features of this spreader bar is the plexiglass keel fitted under the lead bird. This keel causes the bar to track up to 30 feet outward from its normal tracking line. This allows the bar to run in a more visible location in the clean water outside the prop wash.
Using both a port and starboard side wide tracker bar can increase the overall width of your spread by up to 60 feet. Whether you're putting them from an outrigger or directly from the rod tip, this spreader bar will effectively cover a wide area.
The center and wing lines of the spreader bar are loaded with a total of ten 6-inch bulb squid, which simulate schooling bait skittering across the surface. The bottom teaser is equipped with a 400lb stainless bearing swivel used to attach the 7in Mini-Machine Stinger, which is rigged on a 9/0 5x strong knife edge big game hook.
The center line of the spreader bar is rigged with 250lb smoke blue Momoi monofilament, while the wing lines are rigged with 130lb monofilament. Loop protectors are used on all critical connection points to ensure durability and reliability.
Each spreader bar comes with its own clear vinyl/mesh lure bag, making it easy to store and wash down.
