I’m a big fan of the RDT Slammer spreader bars and Dreadges. I’ve used many bars and with the birds on the bars from RDT they always make them run great. I run 2 16’ bars from my riggers, 2 32” bars from the corners and one more down the middle. From my T-Top I run a bird on a chain way back and if I have 2 helpers on the boat I will run dredges under the 2 bars on the corners. All this on a 23’ center console… I leave the auto pilot on when we get a hit and start clearing lines… The birds on the bar make the RDT bars run great in any sea and direction along with staying more weed free. The guys up here on Stellwagen Bank love to use big Black and Pink squids but I’ll take a nice slammr spread any day. I would like to see black slammers but I think that getting your spread running correctly is more important.
