Hogy 18" Squid Bird Bar | Ultimate Offshore Trolling Teaser
Turn subtle surface disturbances into explosive offshore strikes. The Hogy 18" Squid Bird Bar is engineered for deep-water pelagic action, combining lightweight maneuverability with maximum splash to raise big-game species into your spread. Built using premium UV-infused squid bodies and high-grade stainless spring steel, this spreader bar provides irresistible surface chaos while remaining easy to fish on lighter offshore outfits.
Whether you are pulling standard spreads or trolling far back in the way without outriggers, the bird bar’s buoyant design ensures superior tracking and commotion, making it a proven staff favorite for school Bluefin, Yellowfin, Mahi, and Marlin along the Northeast Canyons and beyond.
Key Tactical Advantages
-
Outrigger-Free Performance: The integrated bird functionality allows the bar to track true and swim erratically even without outriggers—ideal for long-center or shotgun positions.
-
Distinction Beyond the Wake: Generates high-visibility surface commotion far behind the boat where boat-noise attraction fades, triggering cautious pelagics.
-
Tangle-Free Buoyancy: Naturally floats on the surface. If you knock the boat out of gear during a hookup, you can leave the bar deployed without it sinking and entangling other lines while you fight fish.
-
Light Tackle Compatibility: Designed with high-strength, flexible spring steel to significantly cut weight, letting you run deadly spreader bar setups on lighter trolling tackle without sacrificing durability.
