The Sterling Tackle 36in Tracker Bar with 9in Machines is highly regarded as the original and best performing spreader bar in the market. Its directional design increases the width of your spread and ensures that all positions are covered.
These pre-rigged spreader bars are built on a .125 inch diameter high grade titanium bar and are tested and proven to catch pelagic fish such as tuna, dolphin, billfish, and more.
Beneath the lead bird, you'll find a plexiglass keel that allows the bar to track as much as 30 ft. outward from its normal tracking line. This feature positions the bar in a more visible location in the clean water outside the prop wash.
By using both a port and starboard side wide tracker bar, you can potentially increase the overall width of your spread by as much as 60 ft. Whether you're attaching them to an outrigger or directly from the rod tip, these bars provide versatility.
The center and wing lines are loaded with a total of nine 9 inch machines that simulate schooling bait skittering across the surface.
The bottom teaser of the spreader bar features 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 monofilament. Loop protectors are used on all critical connection points for added durability.
Each spreader bar comes with its own clear vinyl/mesh lure bag, making it easy to store and wash down.
