I paid about $20 for it...
The one I have has white LED's, which I used a red sharpie on the front light. I love this hat because the under bill lights aim right where you need them....the best lighted hat I've seen very comfortable and perfect for fishing ...although it can't be washed.

Never wash a fishing hat... bad mojo...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Its definitely my funny hat purchased at LL Bean.
Although I rarely fish beyond mid october due to the long, windy, cold nights with nothing to show for it, I like the hat for those below average summer nights in August when there's a nip to the air.
As for other stuff, I stopped buying Skoal a couple years ago as Redlite typically carries multiple tins on him and I simply sponge off his stash. People think I follow him around for the guide service, but its really the free Skoal.

Also, I'm offering 99 bucks for the copyrights to the sea robin picture in my avatar. You could purchase a bunch of fingerless gloves for 99 bucks, your nose will thank you, and I'll brag to the uninformed masses about the bottom fish I took on a topwater plug...still never seen anyone do it before you....I'm jealous

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

I'd love to have a boga grip but aren't they a lot of dough for a 60 lb one? I need to be more careful with trebles when wading.
Be a good Christmas present I guess.
Other than that I can't afford anymore fishing stuff.
