Not much of a tackle company anymore IMO.

call to order, they arent very tech savy, AFTER you call youll really know what I mean...

She took my order, walking all over to check inventory as I was ordering.
She said she would call me back with a total and to get my card... I said oh I can give you my info just send it.
She then called and left me a voicemail with the total.
When I got my order there was a note that one thing wasnt available in the color I ordered and so she didnt want to send the wrong thing and since I didnt answer her call she sent the order without it..

All was good to me, but definitely not what I expected. AND I had been to their actual location about two months ago when I was fishing fork.

Wow, Sounds like they are going down hill. I haven't bought any LFT stuff since Mark left.

I believe they have went down hill since they fired Mark but it is just a little karma coming down. They had a guy running things who really didn't know beans about fishing he could just talk a good story and lie like a rug.

Who fired him??

The word on the street (actually a county road) was they pretty much stole his company from him

They don't keep much stocked in the store anymore, it ain't what it used to be.

I'm in there several times a week and they're still running plenty of plastic. My perception is that most of it is going to
retailers as fast as they can run it. Doesn't leave much for the shelf. They UPS man stops there every day and stays for awhile loading boxes.

Mark's partner fired him he got a little money out of the deal but he was who made the place. Mark is doing just fine with M-Pack lures they are a very fine product I have not been in the place since I left the liar has also been in a couple of other places.

I fished with a guy who said he was part owner. I gathered after couple times of fishing he was more
Of a investor. He made is sound as if they couldn’t make enough stuff they were constantly shipping to many orders. I can’t remener his name. Tall black hair and glasses if I remember right

They lost most of my business once they discontinued the CrawTube which was my go to bait for many years and they discontinued some colors of some of my other favorite baits. I guess they just outgrew the individual retail customer.

Pack had a nack for producing a product almost any angler could catch fish with... Without him to bring fresh designs and creations its dropped off a lot.
I haven't bought any LFT products in a long time, say what you will, but, my guy is rolling out fresh designs all the time.. Thank you Jerry. grin cheers
