In what is becoming an annual exercise in triviality, I figured with its recent delivery, now is as good a time as ever to play the “Random Product from the Cabela’s Fishing Catalog” game.

This compact, multipurpose light is ideal for night fishermen. Three switches allow individual control of three different light settings: 10 UV LEDs produce a wide-angle blacklight to illuminate line from bow to stern; 5 red LEDs provide task lighting for reading charts or rigging poles; 5 white LEDs for setup or clean up. The cordless design is completely portable for the utmost in convenience. Runs up to 8 hours on a single charge. Operate or charge with the 12-volt cord or charge at home with the 110-volt charger.
What Cabela’s fails to mention is its alternate uses include (but are not limited to) a counterfeit bill identifier, a bodily fluid detector (the CSI’s best friend), and of course the non-organic ingredient that makes the Grateful Dead dancing bears poster in your bedroom glow all trippy.

So enjoy…and let me know what you find in your Cabela’s fishing catalog…



Wait. . .what page are the half naked chicks on?
Just needed to make sure you were paying attention…
OK, a little later than I wanted to do this, but I had to go fishing today (see my post). Random G gave me page 21 and the only thing on page 21 is Platinum X something or other. Some kind of rod that is way too expensive at $199.99. I also know that sometime in the near future, half naked chicks will be on you blog, so not to worry.
Very nice. I think I'm going to post misc. pages out of the Denver phone book. There used to be someone named Magnolia Thunderpussy in there.
The stomach pump makes me laugh – “Make the guesswork easier and your fly-fishing time more productive by taking stomach samples from the trout you catch. This is a highly effective way to get an idea of what types of flies and therefore what fly patterns you should be using. Using water, it's a harmless way to collect samples without harming the fish.”
Funny thing is a fly rod at $199.99 might be considered “cheap”…Yes, I need to get some T&A up on the site this year.
That's a great name. Must be a cat lover.
True story – I once got scolded in the Bass Pro “fly shop” for making fun of one of those stomach pumps. I made some stupid joke about trout needing one of these because the got food poisoning from eating too much Powerbait and some dude came up and freaked out incoherently on me. I'm not sure if he felt I was insulting the pump or Powerbait, but either way I just walked away.
First time playing and I nailed me some Spider Wire Stealth Braid Teflon coated “monofilament” ?? I was hoping Random G generated something in a 34B however, it was not meant to be.
