For the serious angler seeking to improve their off-shore trolling spreads, the Sterling Tackle 36in Tracker Bar with 6in Bulb Squid presents as an exceptional piece of fishing tackle. This product is highly acclaimed for being the premier and most effective directional spreader bar on the market. By enhancing the spread of your trolling set-up, this tracker bar maximizes the coverage of your fishing zone.
The strength of the device lies in its construction, made from robust .125-inch diameter high-grade titanium. The tracker bar is outfitted with pre-rigged spreader bars that have a track record for attracting and capturing big-game pelagic species such as tuna, mahi-mahi (dolphin), and billfish. This level of durability and effectiveness signifies its utility for serious offshore fishing trips.
A defining aspect of the Sterling Tackle product is its adaptability in the water. Featuring a strategic plexiglass keel at the base of the lead bird, the tracker bar innovatively projects up to 30 ft. to the side. Such a feature positions your lure in clean, clear water, away from the commotion of the prop wash, attracting attention from game fish looking for an easy catch.
When utilizing both a port and starboard tracker bar, anglers can widen their trolling spread significantly – cumulatively up to 60 ft. Specifically, deploying them from outriggers or from the rod tip can turn your fishing trip into a markedly productive venture.
The included bulb squids offer a realistic simulation of baitfish behavior. With fourteen 6 inch bulb squids, the tracker bar's center and wing lines become hotspots for action, as they replicate the movement of bait skimming the ocean surface.
An integral component of the lure system is the 400lb stainless bearing swivel, discreetly housed inside the bottom teaser. This swivel connects to the 7in Mini-Machine Stinger, which boasts a formidable 9/0 5x strong knife edge big game hook, ensuring that once strikes are made, they lead to secure and maintained connections.
The rigging of the center line employs 250lb smoke blue Momoi monofilament, known for its strength and invisibility in the water, whereas the wing lines are fitted with 130lb test to balance the spreader bar. All critical junctions use loop protectors for added security, epitomizing the attention to detail in terms of product integrity.
Both practical and considerate of your equipment's condition, each Sterling Tackle 36in Tracker Bar is shipped with an accompanying clear vinyl/mesh lure bag which facilitates not only the ease of storage but also allows for quick wash downs post-trip, significantly reducing maintenance hassle and increasing the lifespan of your tackle.
