I have been very fortunate over my career to be associated with the best companies in the business. My sponsors are the best in the world and I am more than proud to be associated with each one. One thing about me that stands out from a lot of other fishermen is that I truly believe in each product I use. I am extremely proud that I can recommend them to my friends.

WRANGLER RUGGED WEAR - You've heard of the Wrangler brand, but what about Wrangler Rugged Wear? This is a technically correct line for apparel expressly designed for serious anglers and hunters. I'm proud to serve on their Outdoor Advisory Team and can say their gear is very durable, very functional and it fits just right. When I'm fishing, I practically live in the angler shorts and pants with side tool pockets. And when it's hunting time, I usually wear the insulated denim jeans in camo or the camo field pants with brush guard. Whatever the season, whatever the sport, Wrangler Rugged Wear has what it takes to do the job. They are listening to sportsmen and they are definitely giving us what we need.

TRACKER MARINE - NITRO - I use the Nitro 929 because it fits my style of fishing. It has plenty of room for storage. I love the speed because I know I will be the first one to the fishing hole. When I get there I know, not only will I have been on the smoothest ride but I will be dry. I don't know any other boat company in the business that can make that statement. I have always said, Nitro is the only bass boat that my mother would ever ride in twice. One other nice thing about Tracker is they build a boat for everyone's needs and price range that you can depend on. I commend Ken Burroughs and all the employees at Tracker for building the Rolls Royce of bass boats.

MERCURY MARINE - I have used Mercury motors for 28 years on the B.A.S.S. trail and they have never let me down on a tournament day. Mercury has always been the leader in technology, speed, and reliability by a wide margin. When I leave in the morning I always have the confidence that I will return in the evening thanks to Mercury motors. Believe me, when you head out into Lakes Erie, Ontario, and other places like the Mobile Delta, that means a lot.

BASS PRO SHOPS - This would be my first choice of a place to live if I was single. I love going into a Bass Pro Shops because it is always a joyful experience. They work twice as hard as anyone in fishing and hunting to make the customer feel special. Believe me if they don't have it you probably don't need it. I have been shopping at Bass Pro Shops for over 30 years and it always amazes me how it gets better each time. If you haven't visited any of the Bass Pro Shops, please do and tell them Woo sent you. While you're there, take a look at the Extreme Woo Daves’ Signature Rods, Woo Shoes, Woo DVD’s and Woo sunglasses!  When it comes to fishing line Bass Pro Shops’ Excel monofilament and XPS Fluorocarbon are the greatest.  There is not a better line on the market, enough said!

LINE KEEPER Woo knows you can have 16 outfits in your rod box, but only the Line Keeper has them ready to tie on a lure and cast within seconds. Simply unclip Line Keeper and you're ready! Woo says, "If you fish a Carolina Rig as much as I do, you're familiar with tangled lines and rods when moving from one fishing spot to another. Using the LINE KEEPER will eliminate that problem, whether you're fishing a Carolina, or Drop-Shot Rig."

HENDRICK MOTOR SPORTS and CARY AUTO MALL - If you need a vehicle, especially a Chevrolet product, go visit one of the Hendrick stores across the country. I would strongly recommend Cary Auto Mall, as I have found Mike Desmond and his sales staff to be the friendliest I have ever dealt with. Back in the 70's, I bought my first car from Hendrick Chevrolet and every vehicle since then has come from one of his stores. Friendly and courteous service and a down home atmosphere that makes you proud to be one of their customers, keeps me coming back year after year.

PROLINE FOOTWEAR - From fishing to hunting the best boots I have ever worn.  The things I like most about Proline footwear is, as soon as you put them on it feels like you have been wearing them for years.  They are just so comfortable that it is unbelievable. Proline has introduced a Woo Daves’ series of fishing footwear that is so far ahead of anything in the boating/fishing world.  I have worked with these fine people for over a year to develop a complete line of footwear for fisherman and boaters.  They have even amazed me!  I should have know that from the beginning, because they have been doing a great job forever.

RAYMARINE ELECTRONICS - The finest electronics I have ever used.  From top to bottom, the best units you will ever use.  Salt water/fresh water, it makes no difference, they get the job done!

THE REEL THANG! - Frustration . . .just one of the words that come to mind when respooling line on your reel. The Reel Thang makes it easy to respool. In fact, using the Reel Thang will not only simplify this process, it ensures you do it correctly too. Putting line on the reel correctly will help eliminate unwanted twists in your line when fishing, and it helps keep the whole process neat and fast!

FLOWMASTER MUFFLERS - I beg you to try a FlowMaster muffler one time and once you do, I don't have to worry anymore because you won't leave home without one. Not only does it increase your gas mileage but your overall performance also and the sound isn't bad either!

ZOOM BAIT COMPANY - I could write a dozen pages on Zoom- Two of the best things I love about Zoom are the texture and colors. I promise you, if you buy a Zoom plastic today or next year, you are going to get the same texture and color day in and day out. No one else in the plastic business can say that. Another great thing about Zoom is that Ed Chambers and his employees are fishermen. They listen to fishermen and stay on top of things, always coming out with new products and colors, when you need them. Again, if Zoom doesn't have it, you don't need it.

MUSTAD HOOKS - The Mustad Ultra Point hook is the finest hook ever made and that is the bottom line. Not only is the hook the sharpest I have ever used, but you don't have to worry about it bending like other brands do. Another great thing about Mustad is that they listen to fishermen, since the staff also likes to fish. They are always and I mean always trying to make a better hook for every species of fishing. It makes no difference whether you are fishing fresh or salt water or what fish you are chasing, Mustad has a hook for your needs.

JACK'S JUICE - The only bait spray I use. There is no doubt in my mind that Jack's Juice helped me to win the BassMasters Classic. Fishing in high winds and a finicky bite it was very tough and Jack's Juice Crawfish scent (my favorite) MADE THE BASS HOLD ON TO MY Zoom tube. I have been a scent man all my fishing career because over the years I have seen, it makes a difference in winning or losing many times.

PLANO TACKLE BOXES and the TACKLE LOGIC SYSTEM - Plano has a box or bag for every fishing need. You can count on it to be the best quality in the business by far. They have so many great products that it is even hard for me to choose the one I want to use at times. Like all my other sponsors they are always coming out with something new and trying to make the best even better.

FISHERMAN EYEWEAR - The best polarized sunglasses you can buy and the best thing is they are at a price you can afford. I have been wearing them for over 20 years. Check the Woo Daves' models at Bass Pro Shops or your favorite store.

LINDY'S NO-SNAGG WEIGHTS - This company invented a Carolina rigged weight that is almost impossible to hang up and it is the only weight I use when I'm rigging. I can't began to tell you how much this weight has improved my Carolina rigging, simply because I'm fishing instead of sitting in my Nitro and retying all day.

GUEST BATTERY CHARGERS - This is the most reliable battery charger I have ever used. I can usually break something with the best of them, but I've yet to have a problem with a Guest Charger. My Trojan batteries are always fully charged, and when I plug up my Guest Charger at night I can go to sleep knowing my batteries will be ready to go the next day.

HERBIE'S MAGIC DUST - This is a paint I use to paint sinkers and lead heads - Herbie's has the only kit that will paint your lead in watermelon, green pumpkin, and redbug (my favorite) colors. I totally believe in natural looking lures and Herbie's Magic Dust gives me that look. It comes in any color you need.

PLASTI-CLIP's Quik-Cull - A great culling device that does not harm the fish. It's all plastic and the clip does not put a hole in the fishes mouth and you don't have to worry about rusting clips ever again. Simply the best.
