Fall is the perfect time to chase America's favorite panfish - the crappie - and there is no better place to enjoy the excitement and fun of crappie fishing than Crappie Expo 2022.
Now in its fourth year, Crappie Expo is the largest crappie-focused show on the planet, bringing anglers, dealers, and manufacturers together to experience everything that crappie fishing offers. Knives, tools, and accessories from Smith's Consumer Products - the Edge Experts since 1886 - are designed with crappie anglers in mind, and you can see all of Smith's offerings for crappie fishing at Crappie Expo 2022. Designed in collaboration with "Mr. Crappie" Wally Marshall, each crappie-focused product from Smith's make crappie adventures more successful, and crappie feasts more memorable.
Smith's Mr. Crappie Chiller Insulated 30-inch Bait and Fish Kill Bag includes thoughtful design insights from Wally Marshall to address the needs of crappie and panfish anglers. Built for long-term performance, this insulated bag is constructed from heavy-duty, washable, marine-grade tarpaulin inside and out, enclosing a half-inch of dense, closed-cell insulation that keeps the cold in and the heat out. A non-corrosive zipper and pulls promote durability and long life, while an integrated drain port keeps crappies fresh and ready for action at the cleaning table. An adjustable, padded shoulder strap makes loading and carrying your catch or bait a breeze. A universal aerator mounting loop and a leak-resistant hose port ensure that live bait remains cool and well-oxygenated. With a capacity of 35 quarts, this insulated bag measures 30 inches by 15 inches with an 8-inch, gusseted, sit-flat bottom to keep it upright in the boat or the truck.
Smith's Consumer Products leveraged Wally Marshall's expertise to develop Smith's Mr. Crappie Slab Slanger Cut-Resistant Gloves: your newest ally at the cleaning table. These innovative non-slip gloves are manufactured from food-grade high-performance polyethylene and are designed for safe fish handling and processing in any weather. Four times stronger than leather and providing Cut Level 5 protection for your hands, Smith's Slab Slanger Cut-Resistant Gloves protect your hands from razor-sharp fillet knives and shrug off fish spines and fins, gill plates, and even the random swallowed hook that you may encounter at the cleaning table. These thoughtfully-designed gloves are also shrink-resistant, keeping them soft and flexible even after repeated washing. Moreover, Smith's Slab Slanger glove material is manufactured for maximum breathability, so your hands stay cool and comfortable while transforming fresh fish into perfect fillets.
Clean a mess of crappies fast with Smith's Mr. Crappie 8 Inch Curved Super Flex Fillet Knife. This versatile fish processing tool features an eight-inch, razor-sharp, flexible and tapered blade, forged from 3Cr13 stainless steel - chosen specifically for its corrosion resistance, hardness, sharpness, and edge retention. An ergonomic, non-slip TPE soft-grip handle promotes safe and comfortable handling. Smith's flexible fillet knife includes a breathable, protective sheath for longevity and a tether-ready lanyard hole in the handle for convenience.
Even the biggest assignments at the cleaning table are no match for Smith's Mr. Crappie Slab-O-Matic Electric Knife. Designed and tested to have the best airflow on the market, the Mr. Crappie Electric Fillet Knife features optimally located cooling vents and precision handle placement to ensure long life and virtually endless fish cleaning capability. Every angler will appreciate the removable, interchangeable stainless steel blades that accompany this crappie fillet knife, including an extra-sharp 8" blade and a curved 4 half" ribcage blade for fine-detailed work. Durable ventilated sheaths for each blade promote safe handling and storage. Smith's extra-large fillet glove protects your hand from the blade while in use, as well as sharp teeth, gill plates, spines and more. Every component of Smith's versatile fish-cleaning system fits perfectly within the included marine-grade mesh storage bag, perfect for the boat and the crappie cleaning station.
Smith's Mr. Crappie knives, tools, and accessories are thoughtfully designed to make the entire crappie fishing experience more enjoyable. Visit Smith's Consumer Products at Crappie Expo 2022 - we look forward to seeing you, and hearing all of your crappie stories, in Branson!
