The Sterling Tackle 18in Tracker Bar with 6in Machines is highly regarded as the original and best performing directional spreader bar available. Designed to increase the width of your spread and ensure all positions are covered, these pre-rigged spreader bars are built on a .125 inch diameter high grade titanium bar. They are tested and proven to catch pelagics such as tuna, dolphin, billfish, and more.
One of the standout features of this spreader bar is the plexiglass keel fitted under the lead bird. This keel causes the bar to track as much as 30 ft outward from its normal tracking line. This not only increases visibility but also allows the bar to run in cleaner water outside of the prop wash. Using a port and starboard side wide tracker bar can potentially increase the overall width of your spread by up to 60 ft, whether you're putting 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 ten 6 inch machine lures. These lures simulate schooling bait skittering across the surface, attracting pelagic species. In addition, the bottom teaser features a 400lb stainless bearing swivel used to attach the 7in Mini-Machine Stinger. The 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. Loop protectors are used on all critical connection points to ensure durability and longevity. Each spreader bar comes with its own clear vinyl/mesh lure bag for easy storage and wash down.
