Who is Crappie USA?

Crappie USA was formed in 1996 to purchase "Crappiethon" from Johnson Worldwide Associates.

Purpose?

To establish and expand a family oriented, cost effective and competitive arena for amateur and semi-pro crappie anglers as the foundation to promote and market products and services.

Why the Crappie Market?

Crappie/Panfish anglers are identified by the latest National Survey of Fishing by the Federal Fish and Wildlife agency as the largest freshwater fishing segment in America - 14.2 million. Representing 25% of the total freshwater market, these anglers spend an average of 27 days annually in pursuit of their favorite specie versus the next closest specie at 15 days. Prior to Crappie U5A, this market did not have any national promotional efforts to drive sales of its products and services
