I agree with hard to compete with academy and luck not being in favor (ive seen the two come and go on gulf hwy), but loyalty from LCT is unheard of on my part. I used to go there at least once a week and pick up tackle and each time it was the same ol lazy *** attitude (maybe its because I'm not a guide???). How in the hell does LCT run out of glow/chart tail sandeels in the middle of summer? I tried for a month to pick up some wedgetails and one week it was " we will have a new shipment next week" the next week it was "oh just a few more days", the week after its "not sure" and the next week its "well they are doing so well with the vudu shrimp maybe you should try those". I shop local when possible to support local but when I'm paying 20% more for a product I do expect to be treated with better service and also be spoken to straightforward. Tell me you didn't order any so I can go online and have them shipped to my house by the end of the week. I'll still go in to buy YMB jigheads and other tackle that I may not be able to pick up at the chain stores, but for the other stuff I have no problem stocking up elsewhere. You would think that a business that has been around with loyal customers would keep plenty of product in stock.
ENDRANT.
