For the angler who talks about cod the way other people talk about their kids. A Murray cod mug with a proper vintage badge: catch it, photograph it, let it go, brag for years.

Save for later ♡

Ask a freshwater angler about Murray cod and settle in, because you’ll be there a while. Australia’s biggest freshwater fish has a way of getting under people’s skin. This Murray cod mug is for anyone who has spent a dawn drifting past snags, hoping for that one heavy thump.

It’s less of a joke mug and more of a badge of honour.

A Murray Cod Mug That Looks Like a Vintage Patch

The design is a round badge in the style of an old national park patch. In the centre, a big Murray cod swims side-on, its green and cream mottled pattern picked out in fine detail. Behind it, a river winds away between gum trees and ochre banks.

“MURRAY COD COUNTRY” curves around the top of the badge and “CATCH AND RELEASE” around the bottom, in solid dark green capitals on a cream border.

Catch, Photo, Release

Plenty of cod anglers let their fish go these days, especially the big breeders. A quick photo, a careful release and the fish is still there next season, a bit bigger and a bit wiser.

Look after the river and the river looks after the fishing. That’s cod country logic.

About this mug

Who is the Murray Cod Country mug a good gift for?

Freshwater anglers who fish for Murray cod, people who live or grew up along the Murray and Darling rivers, and anyone who practises catch and release. It suits someone who would like a classic badge design more than a joke.

What does the design look like?

A circular vintage-style badge with a green and cream mottled Murray cod in front of a winding river, gum trees and ochre banks. "MURRAY COD COUNTRY" curves around the top and "CATCH AND RELEASE" around the bottom in dark green capitals.

Do you have mugs for other kinds of fishing?

Yes. Our fishing mugs also cover barramundi, beach fishing, crabbing and boating.

Delivery and care

Do you deliver across Australia?

Yes, to every state and territory by Australia Post, and shipping is free when you order 2 or more items. We only ship within Australia.

How is the design printed, and will it last?

Every mug is hand-printed in Australia using sublimation printing on an 11oz ceramic mug. We like to be upfront: like every sublimation print, the colours will gradually soften with use and washing. It is made for everyday drinking, and a favourite mug that has worn in a little is part of its charm.

How do I look after it?

The sublimation print is dishwasher safe, so you can load it up with the rest of the kitchen. To keep the colours looking fresh for longer, a hand wash with a soft sponge is kinder than a scourer.
