Why do we love this game? This crazy sport called fishing?  Henry David Thoreau famously wrote, "Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after." Perhaps age and wisdom let us see that for its truth, but I have seen such resurgence of passionate, young anglers who can just flat out catch them, so perhaps age isn't the defining factor.  With that ability though, is a since passion for the sport and the call to action to be responsible stewards of their resource.  This, I tell you, is special. And this, is the...

When I was guiding for muskies, bass and walleyes up north way back when, Gil Hamm, the founder of Muskies Inc, once said something that has stayed with me for nearly 30 years. He said,   “We didn’t make this…..the Creator left it in trust for us”   No truer words have been spoken for a sportsman and we at Wyze Guyz Tackle take ownership in being responsible stewards of our resource so that generations to come can enjoy this amazing sport of fishing and the overall outdoors experience.   We believe that Lake Okeechobee in its purest form is...

What is the hottest fishing lure for bass? What is the best overall lure for bass? What tough questions to answer and ones we certainly receive often!

Does a mechanic or carpenter use 1 tool for every repair or project? Absolutely not. In addition,...

At Wyze Guyz, we love throwing soft plastic jerkbaits. Whether that is for snook, redfish and juvenile tarpon or for bass in thick cover, we absolutely have a passion for it, so that is why we have two different soft plastic jerkbaits in our arsenal. The first is our Bada Bing! which measures in at just under 4 inches in overall length and is what we call a “darting” style jerkbait. If rigged texas-rigged, you will notice that this bait darts in short bursts as you twitch it. This is key when predator fish are feeding on smaller baitfish as...

We at Wyze Guyz Tackle have over 30 years of fishing industry experience and one thing we know is that there are endless choices it seems when it comes to tackle. Whether this is hard baits, soft plastics, rods, reels or line to name a few, we as anglers have choices and certainly have our preferences. When we opened WGT, we wanted to take into account those preferences and choices, but also wanted to offer anglers a true value based product line.   When talking about a product’s value, one can easily assess the worth of a product by measuring...
