I don't assume, this reflects _not_ tackle and bait strategy.
It reflects the fact that during high season vehicle availability is extremely limited so they are not willing to guarantee a specific vehicle type. This is a business decision on the part of the franchisee. If you need a specific vehicle type, then there are lots of other companies you can rent from that will let you choose.
We don't know what "tackle and bait" is but if you mean "bait and switch", it's the exact opposite of that. Bait and switch would be taking a reservation for one type of vehicle (the "bait" part) and then giving you something else (the "switch" part).
By not guaranteeing any specific vehicle type they are being as transparent as possible. You get what you get. If that doesn't work for you, then rent from someone else. Nobody is forcing anybody to rent from them.
