The Sterling Tackle 18in Tracker Bar with 6in Squid is a top-tier fishing accessory recognized as a pioneer and top performer in the category of directional spreader bars. Its design philosophy is centered around amplifying the visibility and attraction of your lure spread, thereby increasing your chances of a successful catch. This specialized pre-rigged spreader bar is ideal for targeting a range of pelagic fish and is crafted to withstand the rigors of open-water fishing.
One standout feature of this tracker bar is the unique plexiglass keel. This innovation ensures that the bar remains stable while also allowing it to veer away from the boat, into clear water, making the lures more tempting for game fish. This positioning tactic, especially when applied using dual tracker bars on both starboard and port sides, substantially expands the breadth of your lure presentation.
The visual allure of the 6in bulb squid is designed to mimic the erratic motion of a school of baitfish on the water's surface, which is irresistible to predators. Coupled with a sturdy 9/0 big game hook and robust monofilament lines, this tracker bar is a formidable asset in any deep-sea angler's arsenal.
Convenience and maintenance are also considered with the inclusion of a clear vinyl/mesh lure bag, allowing anglers to safeguard their gear effectively.
