When you plan a lengthy fishing trip with friends or members of your extended family, it's important to think about all of the supplies that you'll need. This list will include beverages—bottled water, soft drinks, and beer. As you make a list of the drinks that you'll take with you, give some thought to how you'll consume these beverages. One good option is a tumbler for each member of your group. Instead of buying generic tumblers at a local retailer, order some personalized products online. You can then surprise each member of your group with a personalized tumbler at the start of your trip. Here are some considerations.

Personalized Designs

There are all sorts of personalized designs that can be appropriate for your fishing trip tumblers. If your trip is for extended family, consider referencing this fact when you design the tumblers. For example, you might want them to say, "Smith Family Fishing Trip" and the current year. You can include a stock image of a fish, a boat, or something else that suits the occasion. Another option is to choose a humorous design. For example, if members of your group have a knack for exaggerating the size of the fish they catch, you might use wording such as, "No Fish Tales Allowed" and a ruler graphic.

Benefits of Use

While it's true that people who are fishing can drink from cans or bottles, there are several benefits of using tumblers. If you're fishing in the middle of the summer, the insulated design of the tumblers will keep beverages cold. Conversely, if you're fishing in the fall and the temperature is cool, your tumblers will prevent hot beverages such as coffee from cooling down. When you opt for stainless steel products, you don't have to worry about them breaking. Dropping a glass bottle can result in a significant mess that you need to clean up.

Tumbler Size and Shape

Regardless of the wording and/or images that you add to your custom tumblers, give some thought to their overall size and shape. Tumblers are available in many sizes and styles. Large-volume products are ideal for a fishing trip, as people won't have to refill their containers as often. It's also ideal to find products that have a narrow base, even if the rest of the tumbler is large. In this design, the base will adequately fit into the cup holders on your fishing boat. If the bases are too large, it can be awkward to store the drinkware.
