01Overview
About the Cabela's affiliate program
Cabela's is one of America's best known outdoor retailers, part of the Bass Pro Shops group, selling hunting, fishing, camping, boating and outdoor clothing and footwear. Its catalogue runs from rods, reels and optics to tents, coolers and workwear, and its brand loyalty among anglers and hunters is strong.

Outdoor buying is highly seasonal, with turkey and spring fishing season, summer camping and autumn hunting season each creating their own peaks. With a 14-day cookie, content timed to the start of each season, or to gear reviews just before a trip, converts best.
Cabela's pays a fixed amount per order rather than a percentage, so gear lists that send larger multi-item baskets earn the most through LinkApprove.

Sports & outdoors
How Cabela's compares in its category
Sports and outdoors carries the highest average order values of any vertical on LinkApprove, because technical gear is expensive and buyers replace it rarely but decisively. Content that demonstrates gear in real conditions substantially outperforms studio product content here, and demand is sharply seasonal in both directions, camping peaks in spring, insulation in autumn.
