Santa Swindle’s Stocking Stuffers

Two-time Bassmaster Angler of the Year Gerald Swindle is always quick with a one-liner, and he can have any tackle he wants, but thanks to his humble beginnings he’s likely more appreciative of the little things than many of us. We asked him to give us four relatively low-cost stocking stuffers for bass anglers and he didn’t disappoint.

Dude Wipes 30pk

“When a hockey game breaks out and you don’t have a ticket to get in, you’re out of luck. Toilet paper can get wet, but these come in individual packs so you’ll always have them.”

Rapala DT6 Hot Mustard Crankbait

“You can’t have Christmas without a DT6. For this time of year go with something in a craw color – Santa also likes Hot Mustard.”

Zoom Trick Worm Green Pumpkin

“They shouldn’t even allow you to put your boat in the water without Trick Worms. If you need to pick a color, go with Green Pumpkin. It’s undefeated, like boobies.”

AFTCO Solago Sun Gloves protective

“As we get older, we need to cover up and protect our hands.”

We look forward to watching (and listening to) Swindle in 2024 as he strives to qualify for his 21st Bassmaster Classic. In the meantime, take the time to view his ode to Dude Wipes.
