Fishing Michigan

One of my favorite catalogs to order from was that of Gander Mountain when I started going fish crazy.  They had some of the best prices available while ordering over the phone.  Am looking forward to see what they have to offer when the catalogs hit the mail this fall.

They had sold their catalog division to Cabela’s before that company exploded onto the region and the stock market.  If I had to speculate, I think there was some type of agreement in that original purchase,  that it would be so many years before Gander could launch their catalog division again.

Regardless, I believe you can sign up on the website for a mailing, if not look for them this fall coming out.

In keeping with the Gander Mountain theme for the day……..If you have ever visited the  Gander Mountain website,  there wasn’t much to look at, store hours and locations!

They have launched the shopping aspect and you can now shop online.  Its pretty limited in some areas, and I am hoping it can be attributed to just coming out or being launched.

I had some business in Toledo to do this evening.  One of my stops was at the Gander Mountain in Toledo (Airport Highway and Holland/Sylvania Rds).

While there I learned that everything that bares the “Guiede Series” logo that has done quite well for Gander Mountain these last few years, has to go.  Turns out the term was copyrighted,  not sure if its quite the same as Paris Hilton trying to copyright “That’s Hot”, but look for their brand to change over soon to simply “Gander Mountain” Products.

That includes rainwear, rods, ice rods and a whole list of other items.
