The Sterling Tackle 36in Tracker Bar with 6in Machines is highly regarded as the best directional spreader bar available on the market. It is known for increasing the width of your spread and ensuring that all positions are covered. These pre-rigged spreader bars are built on a high-grade titanium bar with a diameter of 0.125 inches. They 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 up to 30 feet 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. Using both a port and starboard side wide tracker bar can potentially increase the overall width of your spread by up to 60 feet, whether you're deploying them from an outrigger or directly from the rod tip.
The center and wing lines of the spreader bar are loaded with a total of fourteen 6-inch machines. These machines simulate schooling bait skittering across the surface, attracting predatory fish. The bottom teaser of the 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 of the spreader bar is rigged with 250lb smoke blue Momoi monofilament, while the wing lines are rigged with 130lb monofilament. To ensure reliable connections, loop protectors are used on all critical connection points. Each spreader bar comes with its own clear vinyl/mesh lure bag, making it easy to store and wash down after use.
