Description

Ultra-Splash Surface Action Buoyant Floating Bird Design Light Weight Stainless Spring Steel Replaceable 9inch Stinger Vibrant HD UV Squid Teasers 130lb Premium Mono Line Stainless Steel Chafe Gear Center Line Ball Bearing Coslock Snap Swivel Designed For Lighter Trolling Outfits Enticing Action At 4mph - 12mph Speeds Lightweight and full of splashing action, the Hogy Splash Bird Bar has quickly become one of the most popular light tackle spreader bars for tuna trolling. Imitative UV infused squid bodies offer irresistible action paired with our stainless spring steel bars. Designed for offshore trolling at four to twelve-knot speeds, these lightweight spreader bars can be trolled on much lighter tackle than traditional titanium rigs. A staff favorite for targeting school Bluefin and Yellowfin tuna along the Northeast Coast and Canyons. Advantages: The bird function of the bar allows the bar to swim well without outriggers, which is important when fished further back. The commotion can dd attraction because it is far away from the boats wake, also an attraction. The bird bar will float, so if you back off, you can leave the further back bar out while you fight the fish and avoid tangles.

Field Notes

This is a light-tackle offshore trolling spreader bar designed to create surface commotion and imitate a small bait pod. It is best pulled at moderate trolling speeds around 4 to 12 mph, especially when targeting school tuna around canyons or coastal offshore structure. The floating bird design helps it track well farther back in the spread and reduces tangles when fighting fish.

Pros

  • Floating bird design helps it run well without outriggers
  • Lightweight spreader bar can be trolled on lighter tackle
  • High-visibility UV squid teasers create strong surface commotion

Cons

  • Specialized offshore trolling setup
  • Not intended for casting or inshore use
  • Requires trolling speed and spread management
