For a brief second i read it as squid 'phishing' lures...
"hmm a website with cut/paste phishing letters... interesting"

standard-item.jsp needs more input.

hey, this is a fun friday game.

here's the missing detail:

_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=SEARCH_RESULTS_NYR&id=0012212113670a&navCount=10&podId=0012212&parentId=&masterpathid=&navAction=push&catalogCode=IJ&rid=&parentType=&indexId=cat600178&hasJS=true

if you add that, then the link would work.

alternatively, just click on this:

http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=SEARCH_RESULTS_NYR&id=0012212113670a&navCount=10&podId=0012212&parentId=&masterpathid=&navAction=push&catalogCode=IJ&rid=&parentType=&indexId=cat600178&hasJS=true

and then click on the original post link, and you should see the squid kit magically appear but ymmv.

smells like IBM to me.

Real names aren't required, but please give us something to call you. Conversations among several people called "Anonymous" get too confusing.
