The 2025 National Crappie League Championship and Expo is heading to Batesville, MS and Sardis Lake March 27-30. As crappie fishing’s biggest event, the National Crappie League features the nation’s best anglers competing for the sport’s largest awards and the industry’s premier outdoor expo.
The National Crappie League expo will be housed in the Batesville Civic Center, a modern facility that features convenient parking, affordable full-service hotels and access to non-union labor, plus daily weigh-ins will be held at the lake.
Hundreds of exhibits and boat displays will fill the expo along with interactive displays made especially for children. More than $50,000 in fishing gear and sponsor samples will be given away to visitors during this event that is promoted through a yearlong effort that intensifies in the weeks leading up to the show, which is sure to attract thousands of fishing enthusiasts who are eager to buy the latest gear.
National television coverage will be aired on Mid-South Broadcasting Company, reaching over 130 million households globally and an additional 110 million households in the U.S.A.
It’s an event you can’t afford to miss.
The cost for a 10-foot booth is $600. Corner locations are an additional $200. Space is limited, so reserve your spot now. Expo dates are March 28-30, 2025, with load-in beginning March 26 and load-out March 30 (following the show),
