Livermore, CA.- Wiley X®, the leading premium protective eyewear brand, today announced the official unveiling of its WX Omega Jacob Wheeler Signature Edition model. Jacob Wheeler earned the title of 2021 Major League Fishing Angler of the Year and has amassed 9 career wins, 39 top 10 finishes, 45 top 20 finishes, and earned more than $2.7 million in winnings. As an Indiana native, Wheeler was the youngest to ever win the Forrest Wood Cup at the age of 21 back in 2012. In 2019, Wheeler won the Bass Pro Tour Stage Seven and General Tire World Championship, forever cementing him among the best bass anglers in the world.

The WX Omega Jacob Wheeler Signature Edition model continues to build upon the foundation that Wiley X and Wheeler have grown together. The WX Omega is a favorite of Wheeler and has been part of his winning equipment for more than 3 years running, so naturally, he wanted to work with his favorite go-to model while adding some custom finishing details to really bring it to life.

This new signature series model features a matte black frame and a custom green reflective Wiley X logo that matches the Captivate Polarized Green Mirror lenses with a copper base lens. This model also has some fine-tuned finishing details like Wheeler’s logo etched into the lenses as well as his signature on the inner temple of the frame. These glasses will surely be seen on the water across the country in 2022. The WX Jacob Wheeler Signature Edition holds an MSRP of $190 USD.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled about launching the Wheeler Signature model, said Myles Freeman, President of Wiley X. Jacob has really earned the respect of his peers and is a great Ambassador for Wiley X and the fishing world in general. Our partnership together is just going to bring more attention to the fact great technology is a big reason anglers like Jacob are so successful.”
