Dredges & Spreaders

Spreader bars and Dredges are professionally rigged to perfection. Any of these Spreader Bar's or Dredges are sure to enhance your spread with more action and the best presentation. Spreader Bars resemble small groups of prey by making a commotion on the surface. Several daisy chains of lures or baits dangling from a thin metal rod comprise a spreader bar, distributing the trailing baits over a wide area. The baits on the bar serve as hookless attractors, but the last one on the center line holds a hook for hungry attackers intent on enjoying easy pickings. Predators zero in on this "stinger" hook-bait because it mimics a weak straggler trying to catch up to the school. Working like 3-D spreader bars, Dredges pull chains of lures or baits behind four to six arms fanned out around a central pull point. These devices mimic a bait ball and help put curious game fish in a feeding mood. Unlike spreader bars, dredges are designed to run underwater to be effective, and they do not always carry a hook bait.
