A new addition to the line up is the Odyssea "Side Bar", a spreader bar that widens your spread and enables you to fish multiple bars or lures without outriggers. While there are other side tracking bars on the market, our model is built with several features that make it stand in a class of its own.
Our center bird is built overseas but the entire bar is constructed in California. This keeps costs down but enables us to provide attention to detail in quality. Every detail is meticulously cared for and thought out. The rudder is thick and durable preventing cracking and breaking when hitting the deck. We include 2 of our signature rattles that fish cant resist and floats in each squid teaser.
The "Side Bar" includes 5 drops (3 for the 18 inch) of teasers just like the original bar but has one of them weighted on one side of the bar. This weight prevents the bar from flipping as the rudder causes one side to dip.
Note: It is imperative you drop these in the water with the boat in gear at at least 5mph. This is because the force of the water on the keel will cause one side to dip, the lead sinker on the opposite side balances this. If you drop in the water without any flowing water on the rudder, it will simply sink and flip. If you stop while trolling you may have to wind in and reset. This is how all side tracker bars work. They take a bit more thought than straight tracking bars.
Each bar comes with a set of simple directions and as always if you have any questions please reach out to us.
