by Michael Bickham

Looking for the perfect Christmas gift for the crappie angler in your life? Whether they fish from a kayak, jon boat, or pontoon, these hand-picked gift ideas are sure to make their holiday season merry—and help them catch more fish in the year ahead.

We’ve included practical gear, stocking stuffers, and one-of-a-kind tools designed specifically for crappie fishing. No matter your budget, there’s something here for every fisherman on your Christmas list.

1. The Angler Anchor – A Quiet Anchoring Solution for Winter Crappie Fishing

The Angler Anchor is a patented anchoring system made for fishing around submerged timber, brush piles, and stumps—places crappie love to hide, especially in cold water. It attaches silently to trees or structure so the boat doesn’t drift or spook fish.

  • Perfect for winter brush pile fishing
  • Attaches with an adjustable loop or hook
  • Lightweight and compact
  • Fits kayaks, jon boats, and pontoons

This is a unique, high-impact gift they’ll use year-round. Order The Angler Anchor now.

2. Crappie Jig Stocking Stuffer Pack

Fill their stocking with a custom pack of soft plastics and jig heads. Choose the most effective colors for winter fishing like Monkey Milk, Chartreuse, and Blue Ice.

  • Include a mix of 1/32, 1/16, and 1/8 oz jig heads
  • Paddle tail and tube style soft baits
  • Brands: Bobby Garland, Crappie Magnet, Strike King

This budget-friendly gift can be used immediately in cold water fishing or saved for spring prespawn action.

3. Warm and Windproof Fishing Apparel

Winter fishing is rewarding—but cold. Help your favorite crappie angler stay warm with gear designed to block wind, retain heat, and still allow freedom of movement.

  • Fleece-lined fishing hoodies or base layers
  • Windproof gloves with open fingers for tying knots
  • Neoprene face mask or insulated beanie

Layered clothing designed for anglers keeps them comfortable and focused during long, cold days on the water.

4. Crappie Fishing Book or Tactic Guide

Even seasoned anglers enjoy learning something new. A book on advanced crappie tactics, seasonal patterns, or electronics tips can make a great gift they’ll enjoy at home and on the water.

  • “Crappie: How to Catch Them Spring through Winter”
  • “The Crappie Fishing Handbook”
  • eBooks or guides on using sonar and side imaging

Pair the book with a mug or coffee gift set for cozy reading sessions at the cabin or camp.

5. Tackle Storage or Organizer Tray

Help them kick off the new year organized. A new tackle tray or compact tackle bag keeps jig heads, plastics, and hooks sorted and ready to go.

  • Adjustable compartments for small tackle
  • Water-resistant or waterproof models
  • Compatible with kayaks and boat compartments

Add a personalized sticker or label to make it feel like a custom gift.

Bonus Christmas Add-Ons

  • Polarized sunglasses – Cut glare, spot fish and structure
  • Rod sock or rod holder – Protects rods in transport
  • Gift card to their favorite tackle shop

These small extras pair well with larger gifts and help round out a holiday bundle.
