Dustin Wilk’s Secret Weapon

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.

About Dustin: This 32 year old North Carolina native is having remarkable career in professional fishing and promotions. Dustin began his professional fishing career while earning a BS degree in Fisheries from North Carolina State University. The same year he won the Bassmaster Eastern Invitational Trail Angler of the Year title. Dustin has since qualified four times for the prestigious Bassmaster Classic and competed for seven years on the Bassmaster Tour. Dustin's big win came at a World Championship Fishing event in 2000. Dustin also competed for two years on the Bassmaster Elite 50 Series which showcased the most consistent anglers in the world.

In addition to his fishing talent, Dustin has earned recognition as a clean cut, focused, and positive young man who participates in charity fund raisers and assists sponsors with in-store promotions and boat shows. Dustin is happily married to wife Mary who also travels to support him at events. With his experience and rapid success in the sport, Dustin has earned an excellent relationship with and respect from outdoor writers, grass-roots fisherman, as well as fellow tournament pros.
