- This is more than just a tackle store, it's my old home. I can't thank the folks at LFT Lures enough for helping me with more than just high quality tackle, but helping me get started in the fishing industry as a guide and tournament angler.
Today we walk you through the Lake Fork Trophy Lures Store and show how they make son plastics and the history of the store.

hey let the nice folks over there know I just bought $50 worth of plastics because of this video. good honest people who work hard is what this country needs and should reward.
thank u!
Man he seems like an awesome guy. Those are the types of men in the industry that I love to buy product from and support any way I can.
Purchasing some baits because of this video. Definitely cool to see what goes on behind the scenes. I like the fact that people who are passionate about fishing are producing these baits.
Awesome video, really cool to see how those baits are made!

Man we need more guys like Ronnie running these bait companies, seems like such a great guy who has such a great passion for fishing and the lures he produces for LFT. Although I have never tried LFT lures I think Im gonna have to give them a shot now.
Love going back and watching some older videos that I missed. Really cool to see inside lft. I had never seen these lures until I started watching you and now it is my go to plastic.
I have been buying the smaller swim baits as my trailers for swim jigs and chatterbaits for about 2 years now and I have loved them. I made a really big purchase from them back in January and have been trying out pretty much everything they have. I must say they have the soft plastics down to an art. They are some of the best soft plastics that I have ever used, and will be using them for a long time for sure. It was nice to see where some of the best are made.
Awesome video man!

Hey Dallmyd
you should collab with the other bass youtubers.
Love your videos, bro. Stay fishin!
DALLMYD i saw Dallmyd at seal beach
Stop by here on the way to lake fork all the time . What a genuine guy Ronnie is ! I know him well and always gives me a free bag of worms when I leave. Cool to know u are a part of Lake Fork trophy lures .. tight lines Bro
What I like the most about this guy is his humbleness. Never forget where you came from. Awesome video!
That's so great Justin! Mr. Parker really loves you like a son. He just seems like a sweet, sweet man!! Great video Justin. Love all the fishing channels but you are by far the most respectful and kind guy. Any father would be proud to call you his son!!
One of my favorite things about smaller mom and pop style operations like this, (besides supporting small businesses), is the crazy/different color combos they have for baits. I love their different and unique colors and styles. There's just something exciting about throwing a bait that you know hasn't been presented to the fish before. It's feels like you're breaking ground every time you land one for the first time. It's a fun experience. Especially here in MT where soft plastics are usually at the wayside for inline spinners and flies.
that is such an awesome story! I love seeing how people got their start. I am also a big fan of Lake Fork Lures, that's right we use them all the way out here in Utah! great video Justin!
+tonygslc801 Love to hear that! Thanks
+LakeForkGuy Where do you get your Lake Fork apparel? Like your hat? Thanks.
You can call the LFT store in Emory, Texas and order your shirts and hats! 800-408-2028
i have been fishing lake fork since i was a little kid. and i love LFT lures... some of the best. lots of big bass caught. and the little lady has always been super kind.
Nice to see the respect you have for the folks at Lake Fork. I’m in Barrie Ontario Canada and will support this company if I can.
Well that's a straight up guy there. Gave a young lad a break that I'm sure he's glad he did. Always be grateful of that which I'm sure you are. Respect!!!
loved this video....you could see the love in his eyes when you walked in the door...what a great man...great memories too...I would say that their doors will always be open for you. thanks for sharing.
The pig claw is THE best jig trailer hands down.
I met Anne for this first time this past weekend when I was out that way on Fork for the weekend. She is so sweet and awesome.
coming from a manufacturing background I can really appreciate this. thank you for sharing this video. it's awesome for people to see the real work and appreciation that comes from production of such a great product.
Always love having you stop by the store! Maybe next time, you and Stephanie can stay for a couple of days with us.
I stopped by the shop and met Kevin today. Awesome local bait shop.
Those are genuinely kind people. I was just recently in that shop and talked to them for a good while. As I was heading out, they gave me a free pack of hyper worms.
Ronnie took myself my son and a friend on that same tour, we walked in off the st and they could not have been any friendly. We left with bags of free stuff and a great memories thanks
It’s cool that he went back to the place where it all began for him and showed this process. He’s honestly a great guy!
I worked at Toledo Tackle from 1988 - 1992. I worked in the mold shop doing finish work on the molds. Most fishermen have little to no idea the work that goes into soft plastic lures. I worked under Greg Garst, that's a name most don't know. The man was a lure designing marvel. If you remember the riverside big claw, if you ever noticed the copyrightight symbol with "Hughes 1990" on the bottom, I am the guy who stamped it there. Fun times.
hay I work there now. that's kool how someone made a video of everything we do.
Loved it bro! I'm gonna have to get me some Hypersticks! Black magic looks dope!
you could see how proud they feel about you !! Great folks, and you can feel the love. Black magic looks like a killer color.....have to order some of those
My dad took me to Lake Fork for my birthday when I was about 12 or 13. We went out with a guide and fluked some Lilly beds during spawning season. I caught my first big large mouth at around 7 pounds. I had the best time with my dad and hope we can get back out again someday before he gets too old to go with me.
So nice to see the good people in this world. Huge props to your #2 family for being fantastic individuals.
I love ronnie he's such a nice guy. he treats everyone like family.
Ronnie Parker is one of the nicest guys ever...I have called LFT a couple of times and Ronnie bends over backwards to make his customers happy; I am a LFT customer for life!
...it helps that the baits are incredible too...lol
Checked that place out last week while I was on vacation. Ronnie Parker was awesome to talk to. Gave a ton of tips on how my buddies could improve on fishing for bass. New customer here!
Can't beat Texas and the people of Texas. Was stationed in Texas years ago and fell in love with it and the people. great state to fish as well.
Honestly want to buy plastic from them just to support him and his business. That’s the kind of people that the world needs, good honest people who would give you the shirt off their back just to see you stay warm for the night.
i freaking love that store, i fish a private lake on FM 515 and i stop in there just about every time I go out there, Ronnie is a great man, he got me hooked on a few baits just by giveing me some free samples.
+like a boas embree sounds just like Ronnie 😊
the garlic smell hits you like a brick wall as soon as you walk in the front door ! now ever time i smell any thing garlic i think of lake fork tackle !
Awesome video! Cant wait to see some more footage out on Lake Fork! Congrats on 100k subs!
Happy for you bro, you're so blessed to have those folks in your life and I'm sure they feel the same about you. Very Nice!
That's a heck of a nice Man!! I'm from west TX! And saw him last time I was at fork gave me some Worms. Anyone goes through there say hello
Just watched this video, they seem like super nice people. I'm gonna try and buy their baits anytime I can and give them support. Nice to see some really nice people in the fishing industry!
The good old days, I remember getting into ole fork lures because of you and your videos
Very cool of you to pay homage to someone who helped you along the way. Bummed I didn't watch this when it came out! And informative for me, I always wondered what that company was about when I'd see the baits for sale, now I know, and I will positively buy some. Thanks for sharing.
This brings back memories! My mom used to make Mepps spinners in Antigo, Wisconsin. She loved it.
this hit home for me, man. your 2nd parents seem like really great people. I'm definitely ordering some LFT lures soon.
Good wholesome people.
Cool video, I don't know anyone else that would let you go through their workshop like that.
I wish I could do a tour like that. Do they owners do public tours?
Andy's Fishing hey Andy! Who ever sees this check out Andy's channel, I promise it would be worth it!
Max rux yah I've seen him before, I know this is 2017 but I agree andys fishing has cool catch n cooks
Andy's Fishing Wild Cook I did one but only because he sent me to the back to get someone who could help us with motor problems.
I'm going to using this company's Lewers just because of how nice and genuine these people are!
I was thinking basically the same thing... Gonna have to try some of these LFT soft baits out because of how genuine that man was, and seems very knowledgeable which is a sure sign his baits should be great...
(its LURES btw....not LEWERS)
+TheRealHighZone lol you're totally right I miss spelled it.... Yeah they seem like really nice people....And have some really unique (Lures) lol
Fishing Fever Tv I love lewers
Super fun video, LFG. Thanks for sharing some of your background - 💓 it!!
My Grandparents live 20 minutes down the road! Cool to know I probably visited the store back in the day when you were living in there.
love to see great quality people and put a face on the makers of some awesome baits. that tomato color is an absolute beast on lay lake summertime.
always love to see people remember where they came from. awesome video.
I must say, one of your best videos yet. I loved hearing part of your backstory man
Awesome video. I like seeing how soft plastics are made. Going to pick some up myself. Also, from the looks of it, seems like they will have great action in the water. Thanks for the upload
This is crazy. I stumbled on your videos the other day and I live on lake fork. I had to do some digging and make sure it was the same lake fork. I’d love it if you were in the area and I could go fishing! I haven’t been in years and I love watching your videos.
Awesome video ! I'll be buying more Lake Fork lures from here on out. Nice to see such nice people behind the making of those lures
I will definitely be trying Lake Fork lures after this video. The people seem great and really down to earth.
Awesome to see someone be so successful from such humble beginnings!
Been fishing LFT for awhile! Love them!
Man I would have loved to have that experience there. Lure making is so fascinating! AWESOME VIDEO
Gotta love the little pitch at the end. Ronnie sounds like a really nice guy
When I went to lake fork I got to meet Ronnie and he hooked it up with the plastics. He seems like an awesome dude
Sounds like lovely people. May god bless them for their kindness
It was so sweet how happy they were to see you
Man you are a good guy LFG. I cannot express how much me and my wife LOVE watching your videos. you guys remind us of us just without camera lol. we are your number 1 fan. we live in arkansas Ozarks on the twin lakes, bull shoals lake and norfork lake. have you ever fished our lakes or heard of them?
one of the coolest fishing videos i have ever seen!
watched this video a year late and i bought some lures and it has been my best bass fishing purchase so far
Incredible, Brazil just start a sports fishing and catch and release , USA is a paradise fishing!!
awesome video Justin, super cool to see how it's all done
those guys are awesome i remember going in that store just to look and they would just give me some of their products. great people
Nice folks running LFT I'll be buying more baits to support, gotta love'em
One of the coolest videos I have ever watched
Watching this video again... I subbed when this one came out.
That's awesome ,they seem like great people!!! Cant wait till this weekend to try all the new plastics,,,I like the black magic!! Green Shad!! Ill stop in the store and check yall out!!!
gotta say Ive never bought or fished any Lake Fork lures before, but Ill have to pick some up. Love to support a family run small business.
I know for sure I am going to get some of that black magic
Same
wish I had money
+Kenny Gnok you must be extremely poor if you can't afford a $4 pack of soft plastics.
+Thomas Kent Broke maybe, but not poor.
im 7
Awesome to see. Thanks for taking us. Love their products
Great video Justin, loved the in-depth and walk through. Very cool!
lake fork magic popper i think its called..best top water bait ive used..for me..after seeing this video i have alot of respect for that company and owner.. awesome!
This man is true salt of the earth!! I will make sure to hit lake fork brands up more often!!!
Wow awsome vidoe. I will now buy all their products.. Seems like a very nice man running a great home grown company i love it.. Thanks for sharing..
I had to stop by there on my trip to lake fork! I stayed right by there during my trip. And boy oh boy I could smell this video and their garlic.
Lake Fork ! 🖒 Found these artificials a couple years ago and absolutely love them!! If you haven't tried them, do it. I've never had such success with any other artificial lures ever. I'm fishing in Mn and the bass love em! Good vid. Keep up the good work. Happy fishing. 🐟
Always good to go home. Thanks for the tour. The Black Magic looks legit!
Really cool what that man did for you. Mad Respect.
I'm a very green fisherman if you will, I plan on ordering some of these baits at the end of this video.
I know the man says pro performance is crucial to a baits success but if it helps beginners land fish that is proof a bait is great.
Fished the JC Outdoors tournament this weekend at lake fork and placed 1st with the black magic hyper work. Great videos, keep up the good work!
I'm a huge fan of these lures its pretty awesome to see how they're made
The sour grape needle worms are some awesome lures. My hands down go to lure for the last 4 or 5 yrs is a magic shad. Those things are hard to beat.
How have I never seen this video of yours. Been using the hyper freak religiously for years and years. Lake fork soft plastics are my favorite.
What a nice video you can see it in a persons eyes when they are doing same thing they love cause it s not work to them it s a love it's nice to see how happy they where to see u 👍🏻👍🏻liking the videos
super cool to see how they are made. thanks for the awesome video!
Seems like a genuine great family
At 5:40. The off color plastic lure .... I know lake fork is freshwater but I caught my biggest bluefish ever on one of those exact patterns. Great action on that bait. Sadly bluefish have crazy teeth and it only lasted one fish. But it's such a great action soft plastic
GRATS ON 100K JUSTIN!
Glad this video was on my suggested, seem like a great company ran by some amazing folks. Will check them out for sure
Solid footage! Really enjoyed this video... Learned alot about the making of plastics, thank u!
Very interesting to see how the lures are made. I'm going to have to pick some up for sure I've seen them at my local Cabelas.
So cool to see those lures made
Awesome video Justin! Looks like you've got some awesome people behind you, definitely gonna look into buying those lures you said were money.
