Mimic Bait Schools to Raise More Pelagic Fish

When chasing big game fish offshore, presentation is everything. Dredge spreader bars and teaser bars are designed to mimic a school of baitfish, pulling predators closer to your spread. They create lifelike movement in the water that improves your chances of raising and hooking pelagic fish.

Hookem bars are made in Australia from marine grade stainless steel. Options include fixed or adjustable dredge spreaders, plus teaser extension bars with reel seat or cleat systems to suit different setups. Compact two-piece and foldable designs make them easy to stow away, while electropolished finishes help resist saltwater corrosion.

FAQs About Hookem Teaser & Dredge Bars

What are dredge spreader bars and teaser bars?

Dredge spreader bars are stainless steel frames fitted with swivels that hold multiple lures or teasers, creating the look of a bait school. Teaser bars are longer extension poles that mount in rod holders and position the dredge or teaser spread away from the boat.
