re: Academy in Hammond is currently worthless

McDonald’s can find staff to drop fries and flip burgers academy can’t? frick that. No reason for that store to be in the condition it’s in.

Seriously consider no longer shopping at academy after they changed their return policy. You can find much better deals at tacklewarehouse, Sportsman outfitters, and other online tackle stores.

Stopped at buckdinbows for lil jons two weeks ago just to avoid academy. They had a surprising selection of inshore tackle and competitive prices.

Yeah I bought a trolling motor from them last week. Went home to put it on the boat and it had obviously been used. So within twenty minutes we went back to return it, had to wait in the long line with everyone else and they were trying to tell us we couldnt return something within 24 hours. Obviously I could have heard wrong, but that makes no sense. I just told them very politely but sternly that I did not want a used trolling motor that costs hundreds of dollars and the manager reluctantly let me return it. I am not sure what the return policy is but it sure is a lot less frendly than it used to be.
