The Sterling Tackle 18in 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 spread and ensure that all positions are covered.
Constructed with a .125 inch diameter high grade titanium bar, these pre-rigged spreader bars have been tested and proven to catch pelagic fish such as tuna, dolphin, billfish, and more.
The bar is equipped with a plexiglass keel under the lead bird, which allows it to track as much as 30 ft. outward from its normal tracking line. This feature ensures that the bar runs 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 potentially increase the overall width of your spread by up to 60 ft. Whether you're deploying them from an outrigger or directly from the rod tip.
The center and wing lines are loaded with a total of ten 6-inch bulb squid, which simulate schooling bait skittering across the surface.
The bottom teaser features 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 is rigged with 250lb smoke blue Momoi monofilament, while the wing lines are rigged with 130lb test line. Loop protectors are used on all critical connection points.
Each spreader bar comes with its own clear vinyl/mesh lure bag for easy storage and washing.
