The Sterling Tackle 18in Tracker Bar with 6in Bulb Squid is highly regarded as the original and best performing directional spreader bar available. It is designed to increase the width of your spread and ensure that all positions are covered. The bar is made from a high-grade titanium material with a diameter of 0.125 inches.
These pre-rigged spreader bars have been extensively tested and proven to be effective in catching pelagic fish such as tuna, dolphin, billfish, and more. Beneath the lead bird, there is a plexiglass keel that allows the bar to track up to 30 feet outward from its normal tracking line. This unique feature enables the bar to be placed in a more visible location in the clean water outside the prop wash.
By using both a port and starboard side wide tracker bar, you can increase the overall width of your spread by up to 60 feet, whether you are deploying them from an outrigger or directly from the rod tip. The center and wing lines of the spreader bar are equipped with a total of ten 6in bulb squid to mimic schooling bait skittering across the surface.
The bottom teaser of the spreader bar contains a 400lb stainless bearing swivel, which is used to attach the 7in Mini-Machine Stinger. The Mini-Machine Stinger is rigged on a 9/0 5x strong knife edge big game hook. The center line 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 of the spreader bar to ensure durability and strength. Additionally, each spreader bar comes with its own clear vinyl/mesh lure bag for easy storage and cleaning.
