Sawyer Products Mini Water Filtration System

Our Review


Packing water for a day of fishing takes up a lot of space and weighs a ton. Bringing along a tiny, portable water filter is a far more effective way to stay hydrated while out fishing and one of the best fishing gadgets money can buy – especially considering there’s no shortage of water to drink from!

Assuming the streams or lakes where you fish are not horribly contaminated with heavy metals, the Sawyer MINI is the perfect filter for your fishing purposes. It can be attached to a regular water bottle, the included bladder, a hydration pack or you can just use the silicon straw. It’s as simple as leaning in and drinking the water that’s available – why hike with a heavy and cumbersome canteen ever again?

The Sawyer MINI can filter up to 100,000 gallons in its lifespan, fits in the palm of your hand and weighs just two ounces – impressive stuff.
