Sterling 36in Tracker Bar with 9in Machines – Starboard – Pink Tiger - Review

The Sterling Tackle 36in Tracker Bar with 9in Machines, known for being the original and top-performing directional spreader bar on the market, is designed to increase the width of your spread and cover all positions efficiently. These pre-rigged spreader bars are built on a high-grade titanium bar with a diameter of 0.125 inches, ensuring durability and strength. Tested and proven, they are particularly effective in catching pelagic fish such as tuna, dolphin, billfish, and more.

Featuring a plexiglass keel under the lead bird, the bar is designed to track up to 30 feet outward from its normal tracking line. This unique feature allows the bar to run 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 up to 60 feet, whether you deploy them from an outrigger or directly from the rod tip.

The center and wing lines of the tracker bar are loaded with a total of nine 9-inch machine lures, which mimic the skittering movement of schooling bait across the water's surface. Inside the bottom teaser, you'll find a 400lb stainless bearing swivel used to attach the 9in Mini-Machine Stinger, rigged on a 9/0 5x strong knife edge big game hook.

For added strength, the center line is rigged with 250lb smoke blue Momoi monofilament, while the wing lines are rigged with 130lb monofilament. To ensure 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 a breeze.
