The Sterling Tackle 36in Tracker Bar with 9in Bulb Squid elevates the offshore fishing experience to new heights. Renowned among seasoned anglers for being the original and top-performing directional spreader bar, this tool is essential for creating a visually stimulating and effective wide bait presentation. It is specifically engineered to expand the spread width, ensuring comprehensive coverage of various positions around your boat.
This robust tracker bar boasts a .125 inch thick high-grade titanium bar, demonstrating remarkable durability and strength. Pre-rigged and ready for action, it has a strong track record of attracting highly sought-after pelagic fish species, including the elusive tuna, spirited dolphin (mahi-mahi), and majestic billfish. Its capability to perform under challenging conditions has made it a trusted choice among fishing enthusiasts.
A standout component is the tracker bar's plexiglass keel, cleverly positioned beneath the lead bird, which empowers the bar to glide as much as 30 ft. away from its normal trajectory. This unique tracking ability places it in the cleaner water outside the prop wash, significantly enhancing visibility and appeal to predatory fish.
Deploying both the port and starboard tracker bars can remarkably broaden your lure spread's effective width by an astounding 60 ft., which could mean the difference between a slow day and a bountiful catch. They work equally effectively when mounted from outriggers or directly off the rod tip, offering flexibility in various trolling scenarios.
Every Sterling Tackle 36in Tracker Bar comes preloaded with nine 9 inch bulb squid, meticulously arranged on the center and wing lines. These life-like squid mimics capture the erratic motion of skittering baitfish, creating a highly tempting spectacle for predators on the prowl.
The integrated bottom teaser houses a 400lb stainless bearing swivel for attaching the 9in Mini-Machine Stinger—a formidable weapon in your big-game arsenal, rigged on a premium 9/0 5x strong knife-edge big game hook.
Rigging strength is paramount, and this spreader bar doesn't cut corners. Equipped with 250lb smoke blue Momoi monofilament for the center line and 130lb lines for the wings, it uses loop protectors at every crucial juncture to ensure the utmost connection security.
Topping off the user-friendly design, each spreader bar is accompanied by a clear vinyl/mesh lure bag for straightforward storage and convenient post-use maintenance.
