Sea Striker 36 Inch Braced Spreader Bar for Offshore Trolling
The Sea Striker 36" Spreader Bar gives offshore trollers a durable stainless steel platform for building custom teasers. Braced with 400lb mono, fitted with sleeve swivels, and chafe-protected at the pull loop. A proven design at $20.99 that handles serious trolling pressure. Build a squid spread for tuna, a ballyhoo teaser for sailfish, or a mixed presentation for mahi. Your spread, your way.
- 36-inch stainless steel construction
- 400lb monofilament bracing prevents flex
- Sleeve swivels for independent lure movement
- Chafe-protected pull loop
- Build custom teasers at a fraction of premade prices
Build Your Own Teaser Spread for $20.99
Premade teaser spreader bars can run $50 to $150 or more. The Sea Striker 36" Braced Bar gives you the same stainless steel backbone for $20.99, and you pick exactly what goes on it. Build a squid spread for tuna, a ballyhoo teaser for sailfish, or a mixed spread for mahi. The 400lb mono bracing keeps the bar from flexing out of shape at trolling speed.
Sleeve swivels let each drop move independently for a natural schooling presentation. The chafe-protected pull loop prevents wear at the connection point where the load is heaviest. Rig it once, adjust as needed, and fish it all season.

400lb Mono Bracing
The mono brace running across the bar prevents flex and distortion at trolling speeds. Without bracing, spreader bars twist and tangle your drops. The 400lb test handles the water pressure of a full teaser spread at 6-8 knots without issues.
Sleeve Swivels
Each drop point uses a sleeve swivel that slides freely along the bar. This lets your lures or baits move naturally in the water instead of being locked in a fixed position. Independent movement on each drop creates a more realistic schooling presentation.
Chafe-Protected Pull Loop
The connection point where you attach to your trolling line takes the most abuse. Sea Striker protects this loop with chafe tubing so the pull point does not wear through during long trolling sessions. A small detail that prevents losing your entire teaser spread.
How to Rig a Sea Striker 36" Spreader Bar Teaser
1. Decide on 3-5 drop positions along the bar
2. Attach dropper lines (30-80lb mono) to each sleeve swivel using a loop knot or crimp
3. Rig your chosen lures or baits on each dropper - squid skirts, soft plastics, or ballyhoo
4. Connect your trolling line to the chafe-protected pull loop with a heavy snap swivel
5. Deploy the teaser at trolling speed (5-8 knots) and adjust dropper lengths so lures swim evenly
6. Position the teaser close to the boat where it is visible to approaching fish

How many drops can I run on a 36-inch bar? +
A 36-inch bar typically runs 3-5 drops depending on lure size and spacing. Three drops gives each lure room to swim freely. Five drops creates a tighter bait school look. Our trolling spread guide covers teaser setup in detail.
What lures work on a spreader bar? +
Squid skirts, soft plastic squids, small trolling lures, and natural ballyhoo all work well. Match the lure size to your target species. Our mahi fishing guide covers lure selection for offshore trolling.
Where in the spread does a teaser bar go? +
Most anglers run teasers from the outriggers or flat lines, close to the boat where they are visible. The teaser attracts fish to the spread, and your hooked baits do the catching. See our offshore trolling guide for spread positioning.
Does this bar come with lures? +
No. This is the bar only, which is the advantage. You build exactly the teaser you want with your preferred lures, drops, and rigging. Check out the C&H Stubby Bubbler for a proven trolling lure to add to your spread.
Can I use this as a dredge bar? +
It works as a lightweight dredge bar for smaller presentations. For full-size dredges with heavy loads, look at dedicated dredge bars with heavier construction. See our tuna fishing guide for dredge rigging details.
How do I attach this to my trolling line? +
Run your trolling line or leader through the chafe-protected pull loop. Use a heavy snap swivel for quick attachment and removal. Make sure your trolling gear is rated for the drag of a full teaser spread. Our wahoo fishing guide covers connection hardware for high-speed trolling.
