Bass fishing superstar Jacob Wheeler has joined Suzuki Marine USA’s select group of sponsored anglers known as the Suzuki Ultimate Fishing Team.
A Major League Fishing angler and perennial favorite of bass-fishing fans worldwide, Wheeler has long list of bass angling accomplishments that began in junior programs, where he captured Angler of the Year and state championship titles. He won the first two Bassmaster Elite events he entered. He’s taken the MLF Bass Pro Tour by storm, with 14 career wins, six Redcrest appearances and more than $4 million in career earnings. Wheeler shows no sign of slowing down, concluding the 2025 Bass Pro Tour season with his record-setting fourth Angler of the Year trophy.
“We are so proud to be working with Jacob and are looking forward to powering his tournament adventures in the future,” said Brandon Cerka, vice president of sales and marketing for Suzuki Marine USA. “He’s a pro’s pro and a proven winner in any type of fishing situation. Jacob is not only a great angler and competitor, but also a true family man who appreciates time spent in the great outdoors. This makes him an ideal match for our company, and a great ambassador for the Suzuki brand as he fishes and wins across our nation.”
Wheeler is known for catching winning limits of big bass wherever he competes — precisely why the television cameras and the eyes of spectators are always trained on him. Now he will be catching stares from other competitors and bass fans as he blasts across the water in his tricked-out iKon LX21 bass boat powered with a Suzuki Stealth Line 250-hp V-6 outboard. Stealth Line outboards feature an exclusive matte-black finish with matching black chrome graphics for an eye-catching look that compliments today’s high-performance boats.
“A one-of-a-kind motor for a one-of-a-kind angler,” Cerka said. “I can’t wait to see what’s going to unfold.”
