The Sterling Tackle 36in Tracker Bar with 6in Bulb Squid is highly regarded as the original and best performing directional spreader bar available. It is designed to increase the width of your spread and ensure that all positions are covered. The bar is built on a high-grade titanium bar with a diameter of .125 inches and is pre-rigged.
This spreader bar has been tested and proven to catch pelagic fish such as tuna, dolphin, billfish, and more. It features a plexiglass keel fitted under the lead bird, which causes the bar to track up to 30 ft. outward from its normal tracking line. This feature 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 up to 60 ft., whether you are deploying them from an outrigger or directly from the rod tip.
The center and wing lines are loaded with a total of fourteen 6 inch bulb squid, which simulate schooling bait skittering across the surface. Inside the bottom teaser is a 400lb stainless bearing swivel used to attach the 7in Mini-Machine Stinger 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 prevent line wear.
Each spreader bar comes with its own clear vinyl/mesh lure bag for easy storage and wash down.
