Hi, my name is Bruce VanScoyoc and I’m the inventor of the Anchor Wizard - the BEST anchor retrieving system of its kind that you will find!

The idea first came to me one cold, Michigan morning when I was out fishing with my two young bruceandson.jpgboys on the deep waters of Crystal Lake near our home. I was freezing my hands off pulling up the wet, cold anchor rope so we could move to a new fishing spot. To make things worse, I looked down and saw that the water off the rope was dripping all over my kids - I just figured there had to be a better way.

Shortly afterwards I was running a hose reel at work and thought to myself,  “Hey, this is pretty slick. Why isn’t there something like this for retrieving your anchor?”

Well, after some thought and a few different attempts the Anchor Wizard became a reality! I wanted a system that would allow you to fish both shallow and/or deep water, with a system anyone of any age could use and still maintain perfect boat control against the wind on the lakes and/or current on the rivers.

I’ve been fishing pretty much all my life and can without a doubt recommend this system to any and all fisherman out there! We really do "Make Anchoring Easy!"

We’re family owned and operated in Evart, Michigan and one of my sons works alongside me now. We put the time and energy into making sure each product is precision crafted and is 100% American made. We absolutely stand behind each and every product we make!

We would love to talk with you about our systems and answer any questions you might have about them - or about how to mount them to your particular type of boat.
