The Sterling Tackle 36in Tracker Bar with 9in Bulb Squid is highly regarded as the original and best performing directional spreader bar on the market. It is designed to increase the width of your spread and ensure that all positions are covered. These pre-rigged spreader bars are built on a .125 inch diameter high grade titanium bar and have been tested and proven to catch pelagics such as tuna, dolphin, billfish, and more.
One of the key features of this spreader bar is the plexiglass keel fitted under the lead bird. This keel causes the bar to track outward from its normal tracking line by as much as 30 ft. This allows the bar to run in a more visible location in the clean water outside the prop wash. Using both a port and starboard side wide tracker bar can potentially increase the overall width of your spread by as much as 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 nine 9 inch bulb squid. These squid simulate schooling bait skittering across the surface, making them highly attractive to fish. Inside the bottom teaser, you will find a 400lb stainless bearing swivel used to attach the 9in Mini-Machine Stinger, which 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. To ensure strong and secure connections, loop protectors are used on all critical connection points. Each spreader bar comes with its own clear vinyl/mesh lure bag, making storage and wash down easy.
