Archer SuperBars Rockin' Mag Bay

[Captain Fred Archer]

Brian,

Thank you for considering us. Lots of charter operations around the world use and have used our SuperBars for almost twenty years now. I'm sure that you will like them.

We offer a ten percent discount on any and all non-sale merchandise to legitimate charter operations. We have all been in the business for many years and we know how tough it is, so we try to help out our charter fishermen brothers the best that we can.

I'm glad that you got a peek at the bars doing their thing in the video. Hopefully, you saw how incredibly light and easy-to-handle they are, plus some of the little things, like how the bar itself makes for a good "handle" when setting a fish up for a gaff shot. There are more videos on the website that show more, like how SuperBars just don't tangle, which can be a problem with other bars. They also show our RuckusRaiser running like a champ at fifteen knots.

Oops, there I go, raving about them! Sorry about that!

I hope that you get some and use them. We would love to add you to our list of top charter captains who use SuperBars!

Thanks again for the interest.

Some DaisyBars, JT Special Ruckus Raisers, and Spiders in action...those four big tunas were all RuckusRaiser fish.

cool video. I'd like to hear a few more opinions/confessions from the east coast fishermen.

I've pulled them on two different trips now. Daisy bars, meatball bars and spider bars. Been learning how, where and at what speeds to run them(off my boat). I have never EVER run any kind of spreader bar or dredge before. I have never even SEEN any type of bar or dredge run before. They are unvelieveably easy to run. They retrieve easier than a lipped diving plug. You can run wide open with them hanging from the rod tips(without trolling weights). They hardly tangle at all. I pile them all in a plastic bin while on the boat...



There are 3 meatball, 4 daisy, 4 spider bars and Freddy Frog in this bin.

The fact that someone like me who has never really done any kind of bluewater trolling before can successfully catch fish with them on the first trip out should say something. Once you try some....you'll throw rocks at everything else.

Mokey,

That's quite the selection of various SuperBars! All in one little tub, too. And a properly beaten up Toad, too.

Thank you for trying them, then buying them and even moreso, being willing to post your experience with them. Those Spider Dredges (the four legged bars) are on fire for us in many areas. Not only because they are the world's lightest and easiest trolling and handling dredges of them all, but because they also make for great, "ruckus raising" surface bars too.

Thanks again for showing us your collection and for posting how they have performed for you.

The smaller spider dredges troll like a wet dream! Every time I put one out I got to resist the urge to jump in and snuggle with it.

That is my bare bones starter spread. I know it isn't pretty but I can pull one out, clip it to a rod, then a chase bait to it and be dropping it back in about 30 seconds.

Ah, Mokey, just got my early morning tuna, marlin, and mahi fix watching the vid again. Lots of good stuff on there, including almost all "sashimi gaff shots" to protect the meat and knowing when to duck while leadering a marlin...both come from lots of practice, which Captain Chris has done a helluva lot of. You either learn that one young, or sooner or later, you eat a jumper alongside !

We're having our big tackle show out here right now and I managed to spend some time there the other day, against doctors' orders, but I went anyway and had a blast. Saw lots of old friends, including Peter Wright and others I haven't seen in a long time.

Among them was Chuck Baker, owner of the top Cabo charterboat, "Tail Chaser", a 35 Cabo. He and his incredible captain, Lalo Liquidano, have been friends for about twenty years now. He and Chuck were among the very first to start running SuperBars down there and he was telling folks at our booth about the first trip he saw them used and got hooked on them. He and Lalo joined us for a short day. We caught seven wahoo, a couple of marlin, a bunch of tuna, and some dorado, all on the bars. He was dubious about the bars until that first time. Of course, it converted him immediately and from then on they always use them when trolling for anything.

He told us a new story at the booth. Not long ago he and Lalo fished by themselves. He said that they caught twenty two tunas from 80-120#, all by themselves, a double at a time. Said they only put two bars out (9" DaisyBars) because there were only two of them aboard. Man, what a day, especially since the tuna fishing hasn't been so hot down there this year!

Chuck and the other captain with him really loaded up on a bunch of new bars, including Spiders, which he hadn't seen before. If you're going to Cabo, definitely put Tail Chaser Sportfishing on your list...you'll love those guys and they are pure, fishing animals!

(Another first class operation is Dream Weaver Sportfishing. They won almost $600,000 in last year's Bisbee Black and Blue Tournament...'nuff said? They are also big time SuperBar fans.)

A SuperBar. You can bend it, twist it, even tie it in a knot, but it won't break - guaranteed for life!

A Spider as a dredge.

Glad to hear you could make it out there. Might not be good for your heart but i'm sure it did wonders for your soul.

Wow! Never seen that picture before(superbar in a knot). And I thought my storage method was rough on them .

I'd love to visit Cabo but am most certain that it would ruin me. I'd be trying to come up with all kinds of scheme's to try and live there.
