Upgrading the Hatteras: Why Tyler Poczatek Switched to Wicked Wells for Better Bait

Wicked Wells |

Every Wednesday, we sit down with elite captains to break down what makes them dangerous — the gear, the mindset, and the moments that separate the stage from the sidelines.

This week, we’re locked in with Captain Tyler Poczatek of Reel Lucky, a top-tier operation in South Florida. Tyler’s been running on-deck livewells for years on his Hatteras, but this season, he made a switch that instantly paid off.

Switching from traditional on-deck wells to Wicked Wells’ anti-leak, pressurized tech was a game changer — and it was clear from the first trip out.

“We’ve had on-deck wells on our Hatteras for years, but this year we switched things up and noticed the difference immediately. Wicked Wells matched the large ovals we had under the gunnels, and since using them, our baits have done significantly better. Plus, we haven’t had to worry about a cockpit full of water due to their anti-leaking, double gasket lids.”

Wicked Wells aren’t just built to keep your baits healthy — they’re designed to integrate seamlessly into your boat’s layout.

The result? Less maintenance, more action, and a cleaner, more efficient cockpit. No more worrying about water sloshing around, no more leaks, just clean, pressurized flow.

And when you’re fishing a Hatteras in South Florida, presentation matters just as much as performance. The Reel Lucky crew is all about class — from the boat itself to the gear it’s running.

Wicked Wells. Wicked performance.

We’re proud to play a role in Tyler’s season this year — making his gear a little less stressful and a lot more reliable.
