This is the easiest spreader rig to use, greatly reducing the hassles often associated with other spreader bars. Its tangle-free design incorporates eight, 4 ½” Hootchies on a 36” Polymer Bar (3 lines). The trailing Feather Hootchie is detachable, a different color, weighted and spaced further apart than the preceding Hootchies, guaranteeing it’s the one to get bit. It can be trolled from 3 to 12 knots. Rigging includes 130 lb. Big Game Trilene monofilament, aluminum duplex sleeves, beads, a 350 lb. Rosco Swivel, a 225 lb. Rosco Snap Swivel, loop protector and a trolling hook. It comes packaged in a plastic sleeve. Large, vented, self-draining spreader bags with handle are available (see lure bags). Spreader rigs are probably the most effective, under-utilized tool available to the offshore angler. Once you start using a spreader rig, it will possibly change the way you troll forever. We have been making these rigs for customers for over 30 years! Our charter boats seldom fish offshore without a spreader rig in tow. They are deadly effective for everything that feeds at or near the surface. It increases the amount of lures you can comfortably troll, providing enhanced visual appeal and attraction. A single trolling rod accounts for 8 separate lures in the water. It's like having your own school of reusable baitfish. Spreader rigs drive game fish wild by triggering their competitive feeding instincts and often causes sudden and violent jig strikes, which might not have occurred with a single trolling lure.
