The Sterling Tackle 18in Tracker Bar with 6in Machines is known for being the original and best directional spreader bar available. It is designed to increase the width of your fishing spread and ensure optimal coverage. These spreader bars are made with a high-grade titanium bar that has a diameter of .125 inches. They are pre-rigged and have been tested and proven to catch pelagic fish such as tuna, dolphin, billfish, and more.
The bar is equipped with a plexiglass keel that is placed under the lead bird. This keel allows the bar to track up to 30 ft. outward from its usual tracking line. This feature enables the bar to be positioned 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 fishing spread by up to 60 ft. This applies to whether you are using an outrigger or directly attaching the bar to the rod tip.
The center and wing lines of the tracker bar are loaded with a total of ten 6-inch machine lures. These lures simulate the appearance of schooling bait skittering across the surface of the water. In the bottom teaser, there is a 400lb stainless bearing swivel that is 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 is rigged with 250lb smoke blue Momoi monofilament, while the wing lines are rigged with 130lb. Loop protectors are used on all critical connection points to ensure durability and strength.
Each spreader bar comes with its own clear vinyl/mesh lure bag for easy storage and washing.
