Offshore anglers looking to maximize their catch should consider the unique advantages of the Sterling Tackle 18in Tracker Bar with 9in Machines. Known for its unbeatable performance, this directional spreader bar innovatively expands your fishing spread, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the water column.
Constructed with a robust .125 inch diameter high grade titanium, the Sterling spreader bars are engineered to be both strong and resistant to the corrosive marine environment. They have earned a reputation for successfully attracting pelagic species, making them an invaluable addition to any serious angler's arsenal.
What distinctly sets this spreader bar apart is its plexiglass-bolstered keel system. Positioned beneath the lead ‘bird', this feature gives the bar its remarkable ability to track up to 30 ft. apart from the boat's wake. Consequently, the spreader bar operates in clearer, undisturbed water, increasing its visibility and effectiveness to lure in elusive game fish.
Strategic fishing is taken to another level when both port and starboard side wide tracker bars are employed together. This not only enhances the spread but can sizably broaden your fishing scope by an impressive 60 ft. Mounted from outriggers or directly from the rod tip, these broad tracker spreader bars promote an expansive and enticing presentation to predatory fish.
Dramatically mimicking a frantic school of baitfish on the surface, each of the seven dynamic 9 inch machine lures dotted along the center and wing lines draw the attention of target species. This cognitive trigger in predatory fish is a key factor in the spreader bar's high success rate.
The terminal end of the spreader bar has been kitted out with a 400lb stainless bearing swivel which connects to the 9in Mini-Machine Stinger, itself secured by a formidable 9/0 5x strong knife edge big game hook. This robust setup is purpose-built for enduring the immense power of large game fish.
Ensuring the spreader bar's resilience under duress, the central rigging is fashioned from 250lb smoke blue Momoi monofilament; with the sturdy 130lb-class wing lines complementing the robust setup. Such high-strength materials are essential for withstanding the strain of fighting large and often aggressive marine creatures.
Rolling loop protectors shield the integrity of every crucial connection point on the spreader bar, guaranteeing that each component remains steadfast during high-tension situations on the water.
For convenience in maintenance and storage, each Sterling Tackle spreader bar comes with a purpose-designed clear vinyl/mesh lure bag, making after-fishing care straightforward and orderly.
