It is not very often that you get the opportunity to converse with the CEO and Owner of a reputable fishing lure company. In fact, most anglers never get this chance. God must have had it in the cards for me because there was no reason for me to pull into the parking lot of this Emory, Texas based lure company; enough tackle is enough, right?
I opened the front door to Lake Fork Trophy Lures and was kindly greeted by the most genuine guy you will ever meet, Ronnie Parker. He made me comfortable in his store and was informative, honest, and personable. It is rare to walk into a store that you have never set foot in before and leave knowing that you have made a new friend.
It is not only the friendly atmosphere in the store that keeps me coming back. It is the quality of the product that keeps me around. LFT plastics simply outperform all other brands. I catch more fish on LFT lures than on any other manufacture. Now I know it sounds like I am sponsored or affiliated with Lake Fork Trophy Lures but I guarantee you that I am not associated with LFT in anyway other than a spirited customer. I wanted to share my story about Ronnie Parker and what Lake Fork Trophy Lures means to me because I want others to have the same first-class experience that I did. If you are ever around Emory or Lake Fork make sure to stop by Ronnie's place. You can also give him a call and he will be more than glad to talk to you. Lake Fork Trophy Lures is a company that I will always be impressed with; not only for their proven products but for the admirable man that manages it.
P.S. If you haven't checked out the LFT "LIVE" Magic Shad you should. These are real game changers and are my favorite LFT product.

The great Vince Lombardi once said "If you want to be a champion you must surround yourself with champions. I am proud to say that Ronnie Parker is a friend and one of those Champions that I want to be surrounded by. Good post. Refreshing after the last few days of posts. In the last two days two of my most favourite people have been mentioned on the forum. Bob Sealy and Ronnie Parker. I hope the good in TFF'ers show up here.

Went in the store for the first time a few months ago and bought a few rod sox. Wasn't sure which lure I wanted to try out so they gave me a sample pack that had just about every lure they make in it so I could try em and compare. Great folks for sure and I'll definately buy more LFT products!

Without a doubt, Ronnie is definitely one of the good guys! Him and Mrs Anne are good people that will always go out of their way to help you out! My only excuse for not stopping by LFT is if i come thru emory too late and they are closed.
