Agitator 5" Bird Bar Rigged Questions & Answers

Do you want to keep the same or similar color scheme of the attached lure as the agitator bar?

Asked 2 ´years ago

Answer:

That's a great question, and if you ask 100 different Captains you may get 99 different answers. Its a personal preference. Typically we would run a similar color, as to make it appear as if it simply fell behind the school. However, some also suggest running a different color makes the trailer stand out, and is more likely to get hit. Or, appearing as if the school is being chased, eliciting a feeding response. We've had good success with both on the agitator bar.

Answer:

The Fathom Offshore Agitator bar is extremely versatile, and can be fished from almost any position. The angled wings force the bird to skitter on the surface, so line angle from an outrigger isn't as important as it may be for other lures. We have run the bar from a flat line, both rigger positions, and the shotgun all with great success. My personal preference is short rigger, I find the action of the bird acts almost as a teaser as well as a rigged bait, increasing the attention of all the lures in the spread.

Advice for purchase

Answer:

Yes, the Agitator bar is perfect for catching Bonito and other Tuna such as Blackfin and schooly Yellowfin. If you are specifically targeting Bonita, we would recommend attaching a Half Pint Double O pre rigged lure to the back of the bar. This lure can be found HERE.

Can this be used when high speed trolling?

Asked 2 ´years ago

Answer:

Due to its light weight and action, we do NOT recommend the agitator bar for high speeding. If you're looking for a high speed alternative, we would recommend our WAHOO CHAIN. It still gives a similar squid chain like appearance, but designed to be trolled at higher speeds.

will this handle bluefin? specificly like 40-60 inch ones if anyone has any experience with them on bigeye
