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.

  • Lightweight spreader bar can be trolled on lighter tackle
