Has any one tried out the banjo minnow and if yes does it work?

once u buy one, u will want to replace everything in ur tackle box with them...they are even better than the famous helicopter lure

I have them but I have not tried them yet. They are similar to a fluke or other jerk bait.

They seem to be the "JOKE OF BASS FISHING", but I have no reason to believe that they would not work as well as a fluke if fished properly. Way over advertised IMHO!!!!!!!!

I got some from a relative for Christmas last year, tried them, but didn't have as good of luck as zoom flukes or drop shotting 4" worms.

Banjo Minnow? Shucks, that's nuthin'. I once knew an octopus that could play four different pianos at once. He coulda really made it big but he became so nearsighted that he fell in love (and eloped with) some bagpipes...Thought "she" was a Scottish MacOctopus, I guess. That, or he just had a fetish for plaid.
Honest!

The hooking system puts the hook out in front of the lure.

This creates and lot of missed hook ups on LGMouth. But if a big one hits it can get hooked.

I had a gent fishing for striper once with a box of those and lost every one of them to small blues.

I caught my third ex wife on a banjo minnow, gawd how I hated that lure during the divorce....still kinda stings even today.

it like anything else will catch fish at any given time but worth the money for them I doubt it you could fish a fluke with the same success .

damn, i thought these things had disappeared. to my dismay after bill dance today there was an info-mercial for them. and now babe winkleman is a spokesperson for them also, i didnt think babe would sell out like that....its too bad. not saying that it will not work, but it is a gimmick. those poor bass just can not resist it!
