Sterling Tackle 18in Tracker Bar with 6in Machines – Port – Rainbow

Experience the pinnacle of fishing technology with the Sterling Tackle 18in Tracker Bar with 6in Machines. Praised as the original and unparalleled directional spreader bar, this product is engineered to amplify the breadth of your fishing spread and seamlessly cover all positions within the water. The core of the bar is constructed from a robust .125 inch diameter high-grade titanium, guaranteeing both durability and reliability under the duress of ocean fishing.

Expertly pre-rigged, these spreader bars are designed and verified through rigorous testing to be exceptionally proficient at attracting and catching a variety of sought-after pelagic fish species including tuna, dolphin (mahi-mahi), and billfish. The secret to their high performance lies within a strategically placed plexiglass keel underneath the lead bird, which empowers the bar to carve a path up to 30 ft. outward from its normal trajectory. This distinction allows the bar to operate in a prominent spot outside the prop wash, cruising through untainted waters which significantly improves visibility for predatory fish.

When utilizing a coordinated pair of these wide tracker bars, one on each side of the vessel (port and starboard), anglers can dramatically enhance the overall width of their fishing spread by approximately 60 ft. The adaptability of these bars allows them to be effectively deployed from either an outrigger or directly off the rod tip, providing a flexible approach to suit different fishing strategies and conditions.

The primary allure of the bar comes from its centerpiece and wing lines, which are adorned with ten visually convincing 6 inch machine lures. This assembly impersonates the movement of a school of baitfish skimming the surface, which can pique the interest of nearby predators and provoke aggressive strikes.

Resilience is at the forefront of this setup, with the lower teaser incorporating a robust 400lb stainless bearing swivel to link the 7in Mini-Machine Stinger. This component is meticulously rigged onto a formidable 9/0 5x strong knife edge big game hook, ready to tackle the vigors of heavy-duty saltwater game fishing.

Durability extends to the rigging of the center line, which uses 250lb smoke blue Momoi monofilament and the wing lines with 130lb to ensure top-tier strength and functionality under pressure. All notable connection points on the bar include loop protectors, offering additional security against line fray and prolonging the lifespan of the setup.

For maintenance and transportation convenience, each spreader bar is accompanied by a purpose-built clear vinyl/mesh lure bag, simplifying both storage and post-use care.
