Master the Musky: The Smity Wizard – A Northwoods Legend Reborn

Capture the magic of a Northwoods legend with the Smity Wizard, a master-crafted musky lure designed to trigger explosive strikes. Hand-assembled by Smity Bait and Guide Service in Minocqua, Wisconsin, this bait carries forward a rich heritage of big-fish consistency.

A Tribute to a Classic: The Rizzo Wiz Reborn

The Smity Wizard is a direct evolution of Tony Rizzo’s legendary Rizzo Wiz. After acquiring the original components from the Rizzo family, Smity Baits has ensured that the "Wizard" retains the same profile and vibration that made the original a staple in the tackle boxes of Hall of Fame guides. Whether you’re a seasoned musky hunter or a weekend angler, this lure brings decades of proven fish-catching DNA to your line.

Heavy-Duty Construction & Performance

Built to withstand the brutal power of a trophy musky, every Smity Wizard is constructed with rugged .051 wire. The #6 Indiana Blade provides the perfect balance of flash and vibration, creating a "thump" that muskies can track even in stained water. To ensure those follows turn into catches, each lure is equipped with a razor-sharp Mustad Hook for superior hook-setting power.

Dynamic Action with the 5-Inch Tube

What sets the Wizard apart is its large 5-inch tube trailer. This adds a unique, lifelike profile and a subtle buoyancy that allows the bait to "hover" slightly during pauses or when worked over shallow weed tops. The erratic action of the tube combined with the steady pull of the Indiana blade creates a presentation that big esox simply cannot resist.
