BassinBlues Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 I got home the other day from work and there was a package at the door..... Thought it was some parts for my boat that I ordered. As I'm walking in the door I knew what I was going to be doing for the next few hours............ Installing my new parts.... I opened the package and the was an letter on the top of the package, I unfolded it and started reading. We appreciate your interest in becoming part of the Lake Fork Trophy (LFT) family.

Again, thank you for your interest in LFT Lures. As I was reading this I thought to myself man my first letter and they took the time to read and reply with a generic letter, but still they still took the time to read it, that's all that matters now.... I continue reading the letter as there was more to it..... The above is what I usually send to applicants, but your letter caught my attention.

Thank you and welcome to Lake Fork Tackle.... at the bottom of the box 15 bags of all types of there baits to add to the current ones that I have.... Now I was thinking that my first letter not only got looked at by someone but it also got a very good reply.... I was very excited for myself at this moment, Its a start to a long dream that I have had... I have taken 5 straight years into planning and reading to put my approach and finial letter together.... Thank you for anyone that has taken the time to read and had out some constructive knowledge on my other post, this feeling that I have is also a large part of the ones who took the time to help out..... Thank you!!! 11 Quote

tbone1993 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Lake fork is one of the best companies to work with. If the same person I am thinking off replied to that letter he is a great guy to talk fishing with. Get some of those flipper tubes and boot tail magic shads. 1 Quote

fishingman88 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Congratulations!! It is always nice when you something works out. Your hardwork has definitely paid off. Quote
JT Bagwell Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Congrats. I am on the Yamamoto Pro Team and have been for your 10 years. With that being said, a few years ago I fished with FLW Pro Tom Redington at Lake Fork. Tom is a top level member of the LFT Pro Team. After fishing one day, he called over to LFT and had them keep the place open after hours so we could go in their place and look around. Everyone there was extremely polite and very much like family. They didn't even give me crap for rocking all of my Gary Yamamoto gear in their place. They hooked us up on some stuff and said if we ever needed anything to feel free to call them. Definately a classy group of people. Best of luck to you bro. Quote

This thread is in reference to a proud moment for the OP. I feel like your comment regarding how easy it is to get sponsored is a bit disrespectful. If you want to post say Congrats and move on! That being said. ...Congrats man. That's a heck of an achievement and good luck getting that full on sponsorship in the future!
