The Sterling Tackle 36in Tracker Bar with 6in Machines is highly regarded as the original and best performing directional spreader bar available. It is designed to increase the width of your fishing spread and ensure all positions are covered, making it an essential tool for offshore fishing enthusiasts and professional anglers.
These pre-rigged spreader bars have been tested and proven to catch pelagic fish such as tuna, dolphin, billfish, and more. Under the lead bird is a plexiglass keel that causes the bar to track up to 30 ft. outward from its normal tracking line. This feature allows the bar to run in a more visible location in clean water outside the prop wash, enhancing its effectiveness.
Using both a port and starboard side wide tracker bar can potentially increase the overall width of your spread by as much as 60 ft. Whether you're deploying them from an outrigger or directly from the rod tip, this tracker bar will effectively cover a wide area, increasing your chances of a catch.
The center and wing lines are equipped with a total of fourteen 6 inch machines, adding to the lure's effectiveness. Here's a list of key features:
- Built on a .125 inch diameter high-grade titanium bar for strength and durability
- Total of fourteen 6 inch machines on the center and wing lines to simulate schooling bait
- 400lb stainless bearing swivel inside the bottom teaser for attaching the 7in Mini-Machine Stinger

- Center line rigged with 250lb smoke blue Momoi monofilament for strength and reliability
