Banjo Minnow

[CatDaddy]

I have been seeing alot of advertisement about the Banjo Minnow on TV latley. They spend a whole hour everyday talking about these baits. I called the number on TV and the price for these baits are stupid.

Today I seen a special on TV (order now and we'll throw in this special deal.. but wait,theres more kinda deals) and they were only 19.95.

Is this bait worth it? has anyone here had experiance with this bait? Im thinking if this bait was "all that" I would see it being used more in the tournaments that I fish.

The Banjo claims to be so effective that its banned in several states

What are yalls opinions?

[yak'em-n-stack'em]

maybe their scam of a business is banned in several states lol

Good thread... I too would like to know if the ever so popular on the tv, supposed to be banned across the nation banjo minnow actually catches fish.

Kinda like them ummm... hell I can't remember the name of them, but they are kinda like a tube bait that falls away from you when you jerk it... I bought some from a going outta bidness store... still ain't caught nothing on 'em. Oh!!! Flying Lure!! That's it!

[yak'em-n-stack'em]

kinda makes me laugh,

my grandpa use to keep a black bird lure (about 8 inch long with feathers, red spot, and treble hooks), tied onto a rod in his boat. when people would ask what they caught on he would just grab that out

I went out on a guided trip with Double R Charters, we used them under a popping cork down in Baffin. Like the others that had been out with him, we caught nothing.

I agree with you. I like the flukes and i also like the Senko by gary Yamamato. I got a 30,000 dollar Triton bass boat won stricktly on Senkos. (christmas tree)

I have a feeling the tune the Banjo Minnow is playing is "SUCKER". I have never heard anyone say anything good about them.

[Dead Shrimp]

Anyone remember the Helicopter Lure? That was a crock!

[LaAngler]

i remember that one! LOL

i also remember watching those banjo minnow commercials when i was young, those slow motion bass inhaling the lure was awesome, i wanted to order some so bad but Dad would never let me.

[LittleRob]

I never tried the Banjo minnow, but I did try the heelicopter lure before and I still want to kick Roland Martin for indorsing it, oh and the Rocket Fishing Rod was to hard for my kids to hold the safety and shoot it, and it broke shortly after that, Damn you Roland Martin

[CatDaddy]

Lmao @ the rocket fishing rod... i think my son made about 5 casts in the house before it broke on him.. casts about 10' max..

You know dads are the biggest suckers when it comes to buying something for our kids, well at least I am, what ever happened to the 33 classic, box of worms, and an icechest for all those catfish, pawpaw and I used to catch.

[Big_Country]

That ain't no lie!!! I still have my 33.... my son uses it from time to time!! I miss those days..
