Professional bass angler Dustin Wilks is helping Secret Weapon build its reputation as an innovator of premium, high performance fishing tackle for fresh- and saltwater sportfishing. Wilks of Rocky Mount, North Carolina is always a strong contender and a fan favorite in the BASS Elite Series.
“Dustin Wilks is an extremely gifted angler who shares our priorities of God, family, friends and fishing. We are proud that Secret Weapon’s Pro Assassinators™ are his go-to spinnerbaits and buzzbait,” said Joe Haubenreich, president of Secret Weapon Lures, Inc.
Pro Assassinator spinnerbaits and buzzbaits were designed by Wilks to excel in the types of water he encounters on the tour. Dustin’s Mud Secret and Bull Bream are two of his most productive patterns.
