Offshore anglers seeking the competitive edge in sportfishing gear will appreciate the innovative design of the Sterling Tackle 36in Tracker Bar with 6in Machines. Renowned as the original and leading directional spreader bar, its purpose is to expand the scope of your fishing spread, effectively increasing your chances of landing the catch of a lifetime. These pre-rigged spreader bars boast construction using robust and flexible titanium with a .125-inch diameter, ensuring strength and durability to withstand the rigors of pelagic fishing.
One of the most ingenious features is the spreader bar's plexiglass keel, strategically positioned under the lead bird. This unique design element allows the bar to substantially deviate from its standard tracking path, veering up to 30 feet outward. Such tracking innovation enables the tracker bar to maintain a prominent spot in the clean water streams beyond the prop wash, thus enhancing its visibility and effectiveness.
By utilizing both a port and starboard side wide tracker bar, seasoned anglers can substantially broaden their spread's reach. This tactical approach, capable of adding 60 feet to the spread dimension, may be utilized whether the bars are set from outriggers or directly secured to the rod tip. Implementing this method can be a game-changer when attempting to attract elusive game fish.
The spreader bar's enticing power is amplified by its set of fourteen 6-inch machines, meticulously rigged on the center and wing lines. These machines play a crucial role in mimicking the erratic motion of baitfish on the water's surface, thereby drawing the attention of hungry predators below.
At the core of the spreader bar's lure setup is a 400lb stainless bearing swivel, the point of attachment for the included 7in Mini-Machine Stinger. This stinger, coupled with a formidable 9/0 5x strong knife-edged big game hook, is a potent combination for provoking strikes from the target species.
The sturdy rigging fortifies the spreader bar's resilience, with the center line strung with 250lb smoke blue Momoi monofilament and the wing lines done with 130lb test. A fastidious attention to detail ensures loop protectors at all critical junctures, reinforcing the spreader bar's structural integrity for repeated use in extreme conditions.
Each Sterling Tackle spreader bar is accompanied by a custom clear vinyl/mesh lure bag, not only facilitating efficient storage but also simplifying the post-use wash down process.
