The Sterling Tackle 18in Chaos Tracker Bar with 9in Bulb Squid is a top-grade offshore fishing tool, designed to create maximum visual and auditory disturbance in the water. This spreader bar is highly effective for targeting a variety of pelagic fish, making it a must-have for serious anglers.
The bar is robustly constructed from a durable .125-inch diameter high-grade titanium, ensuring it can withstand the harsh marine environment and the strength of the big game species it attracts. This spreader bar is not only a structural marvel but also a strategic assemblage of fish-attracting components.
A unique feature of the tracker bar is its plexiglass keel, which markedly improves the way it swims through the water. This allows for strategic placement of the bar, giving it enhanced visibility and performance that can give anglers an edge over the competition.
Incorporated into this tracker bar is an array of bait imitations that are almost irresistible to targeted fish. Below they are listed in detail for easy reference:
- Soft Rattling Birds: These contribute to the chaos by creating noise and splash, mimicking a small school of fish on the escape.
- Bulb Squids: They add to the visual appeal, closely resembling a group of squid in motion—a favorite snack for many large pelagic predators.
- Rattles in Rear Squids: These augment the auditory attraction, ensuring that the lure is noticed even in murky or turbulent waters.
- Mini-Machine Stinger: This ‘stinger' bait trails behind the bar, acting as the final temptation, rigged ready to hook any fish that commits to a strike.
- Dual-Monofilament Rigging: Employs smoke blue Momoi monofilament and robust monofilament for center and wing lines, ensuring strong, invisible presentation.
- Loop Protectors: Enhances the robustness of the connection points, securing the longevity and reliability of the tackle under stress.
- Storage Bag: Included for convenience, this bag protects the spreader bar and makes post-fishing activities like cleaning and storage simpler.

Q: What is the purpose of the rattles on the rear squids?
A: Rattles intensify the auditory stimulus in the water, which can help in attracting the attention of curious fish from afar.
Q: What is the stinger rigging like?
A: The bottom teaser bird contains a robust 400lb stainless bearing swivel to attach the 12in Mini-Machine Stinger, which bears tri-beads and a 10/0 4x strong knife edge big game hook to secure the catch effectively.
Q: What is the rigging material used for the center line and wing lines?
A: The center line utilizes a 250lb smoke blue Momoi monofilament for discrete and resilient rigging, while the wing lines use 200lb monofilament for dedicated strength and near invisibility.
Q: What additional features does the spreader bar have?
