Big-Ticket Game Changers
For the bass or crappie fisherman who’s serious about boat control, Performance Fishing Brakes are a “wow” gift if there ever was one.
These are the original crappie/bass boat brakes designed by a tournament angler to help you stop on a dime, slow your drift, and stay locked on the fish without fighting wind and current all day.
Why anglers love them:
-
Instant, quiet stopping power for precise positioning
-
Huge help in wind, current, and tight spots
-
Lets you fish instead of constantly babysitting the trolling motor
-
Optional Dual Motion Variable Speed Upgrade Kit adds forward and reverse braking plus fine speed control for LiveScope-style fishing and ultra-stealthy approaches
If you really want to give a “hero” gift, this is it.
Electronics Power & Performance
If the fisherman in your life is obsessed with their graphs, Live sonar, or spends way too long screenshotting sonar pics, Clean 16 might be the most thoughtful gift you can give.
Instead of buying an expensive dedicated 16V battery and charger, Clean 16 delivers a clean, consistent 16V power feed directly to their electronics. That means clearer screens, faster refresh rates, and more stable voltage—all without overhauling the boat’s battery system.
What Clean 16 does:
-
Provides a stable 16V feed to major brands like Humminbird, Garmin, and Lowrance
-
Sharpens sonar images and reduces interference and screen noise
-
Prevents voltage drop, so performance stays consistent throughout the day
-
Gives them the benefits of 16V power at a fraction of the cost and weight of a full 16V battery setup
Pair Clean 16v with a new graph or existing setup and you’ll have one very happy fisherman on Christmas morning.
On-the-Water Sound & Vibes
Know someone who loves music as much as fishing? Turtlebox Gen 3 is built exactly for that—loud, clear tunes that can take a beating on the boat, beach, or tailgate.
Highlights:
-
Rugged, midsize flagship Bluetooth speaker made for the outdoors
-
IP-67 waterproof and floats, plus drop-, crush-, and dust-proof construction
-

-
“Party Mode” lets you link multiple Turtlebox speakers (Gen 3, Ranger, Grande) for full surround sound on the water
This is the “every boat needs one” gift that works for anglers, campers, travelers—pretty much anyone.
For a slightly more compact, grab-and-go option, the Turtlebox Ranger delivers bold, clean sound in a smaller footprint designed for boats, trucks, and adventures.
Key details:
-
IP-67 waterproof and submersible up to about 3 feet
-
Drop, crush, and dust proof
-
12+ hours of runtime on a single charge
-
Party Mode and true wireless stereo pairing support
-
Perfect size for UTVs, kayaks, and small boats
Tackle & Storage Favorites
These gifts are perfect for the angler who already “has too many baits”… but somehow is always buying more.
Your tackle junkie will recognize the 6th Sense name immediately. PFE stocks a full range of baits, rigs, and tackle storage from 6th Sense, including:
-
Clobber Minnows – great for finesse presentations and pressured fish
-
Panorama Swimbaits – realistic shad-style swimmers
-
Treble Underspin heads for minnow-style plastics
-
Carolina Pre-Rig (Tungsten) setups for deep structure fishing
-
Divine Umbrella Rigs, Provoke jerkbaits, and more
These are fantastic if you want to build a tailored bait bundle: think a mix of Clobber Minnows, Carolina rigs, and a Provoke jerkbait or two that match the lakes they fish.
If your fisherman has a serious hat collection, the 6th Sense Hat Chamber is a sleeper hit of a gift.
-
Protects up to ~8 structured hats in a rigid, hard-shell case
-
Ventilated sides to keep airflow moving and odors down
-
Dual carabiners to clip onto luggage, gear bags, or boat seats
-
Sleek matte-black finish that looks like serious “field gear,” not a toy
Perfect for tournament travelers and anyone who wants their hat game as sharp as their tackle.
If your fisherman chases big bass, chances are they already know (and love) Megabass. PFE carries proven staples like:
-
Megabass Vision 110 Jerkbaits – legendary cold-water and clear-water bass killers
-
Vision 110+1 & 110+1 Jr. – for getting just a bit deeper when that’s where the fish live
-
Magdraft Swimbaits & Freestyle – perfect for targeting big fish on points, grass edges, and offshore structure
Grab a few of their favorite colors (think shad patterns, natural baitfish, and one or two “confidence” colors) and you’ve got a premium tackle gift that will absolutely get tied on.
Stocking Stuffers & Smaller Gifts
You don’t have to go big-ticket to give something truly useful. These smaller items are perfect for stockings or add-ons to a larger gift.
Tungsten is one of those upgrades anglers rarely regret. PFE’s Performance Tungsten lineup includes bass weights, crappie jig heads, and skinny drops for finesse situations.
-
Denser than lead = smaller profile, better sensitivity
-
Great for bottom contact baits, finesse presentations, and crappie jigs
-
Easy to mix-and-match sizes for a custom stocking-stuffer kit
Poles Up & Prop Stop
For the boat owner:
-
Poles Up – a shallow-water anchor reminder kit that helps prevent expensive “oops, I drove off with the poles down” moments
-
Prop Stop – a simple but brilliant way to protect the prop and lower unit when trailering or storing the boat
These are the types of gifts anglers don’t always think to buy for themselves—but they’ll use them constantly.
When You’re Just Not Sure: PFE Gift Cards
If your fisherman is extremely particular about baits, colors, or electronics models, a Performance Fishing Electronics Gift Card can actually be the most thoughtful option.
They can apply it toward:
-
Boat brakes and upgrades
-
Fish finders, trolling motors, and rigging
-
Turtlebox speakers and accessories
-
Tackle, rods, reels, and Performance Tungsten
-
Or that one Megabass color they’ve been hunting for months
It lets them shop exactly how they like while still supporting the shop they trust.
