Rated 1 out of 5 by minnowman14 horrible
DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!! this bait is absolutly horrible, i caught 1 dink on it and that was it ,and i bought 2 to make sure it wasnt the first kit. the video must be in farm ponds because i have never even gotten hits like the show in the video. your better off buying Zoom Super flukes, they are weedless and have better action than the banjo minnow. ITS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Croc bad rap minnow
I fish these minnows just like I fish a worm. Instead of twitching the rod tip upward. Twitch it sideways. Almost like a jerkbait but, not as hard. They dont have the resistance a jerkbait has. Twitch it just enough to make the minnow dart and dive. Do this a couple of times. Then let it fall to the bottom and, pause for a couple of seconds. Then do process over. I have not used the new minnows yet. But the old ones catch fish. The only thing about the minnow. Is in heavy wood cover (tree laydowns). They get snagged easy if you dont watch it. Other than that they are great fishing lures. Patience and practice with them. Another thing watch the video that comes with them over and over. Buy the way I catch alot of big fish on worms.

Rated 5 out of 5 by deertag123 it catches 'em but...
I use this in certain sandy mossy spots and it catches fish but sometimes its really hard to hook em with the hook being hooked at the very tip of the nose of it. not all of the time are the fish going to be grabbing it right at the head. On days that other baits wont work on just pitch out the banjo a few times and you will have a good chance of catching a fish, after all its basically a minnow...

Rated 5 out of 5 by banjofisher best lure ever
the old banjo was great but I had two knocks with it. 1. the corkscrew eventually tor the nose out of the bait. and 2. you couldn't fish it in more then 10 feet of water. but with one invention the banjo eye both of these problems are solved. this is the easiest lure and most produtive lure I have ever used. If you can't catch fish on this lure you don't know how to fish

size 6in works best for me in clear water situations but perform well in dirty water 2, white is best color!

A:
I've never heard of Lake Anna, but if she has Bass in her I'm pretty sure they will catch them. As far as the best size to use; You'll have to let the fish tell you that. Start with the largest size that comes in the standard kit, I think they're four inches or so and if they don't work go to the next smaller size, I think they are around three inches until you find out what the fish prefer.Details:
they have said on tv how they say it has a genetic response? Is that what makes them bite? Or is it just the that its a minnow. does even work at allAnswers
A:
yes, it makes them bite very wellA:
Watch the Minnows action in a pool or clear water. See how much action small twitches give it. Let the lure settle and then retrieve it SLOWLY with short quick twitches. If you don't catch fish with a properly worked Minnow, MOVE, there aren't any fish anywhere near you.A:
Yes. If you twitch them just right, they gimmick dying minnows and bass, crappie, perch, and many others eat them up.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
It doesn't work. If you wanna fish minnows, stick with living ones.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
it's a genetic response lure because it looks like a dying bait fish to the bass, crappie, ect
Top 250 Contributor
A:
Yes, There is such thing as genetic response, it's similar to when a BEE, Wasp, Yello Jacket, etc... lands on your hand or arm. You simply jerk or "slap" it to get it off of you before it stings you. That was a genetic response that has been passed down through the ages. But with a Bass, they are predators and as predators they must eat when they can or they go hungry. I may not be 100% right but maybe you can understand. Ask your Science teacher they may be able to explain it better than me. GOODLUCKAnswers
A:
You have to get another kit.

i personally use the 4 inch minnows because i can't get ANY action with the 3 inch minnows...but you know, thats just meA:
The 4" minnows is all I fish with. You will catch bass 6" on up to bragging size.A:
4in or smaller i would say.
A:
In my opinion, it mainly depends on the size of the local bait fish and the size of the bass. I live on a small lake and went out a 7:00 A.M. I started using them when one of my friends brought them out. i started with the 3 inch and didnt get any thing, so i went to the 4 inch and they started following it to the boat, so i put on the 5 inch, and got a 21 inch, 7 pound largemouth.A:
i used the smallest yellow minnow with the small hooksA:
i would try the 3 inch minnow first and the work your way up from there but the 4 inch minnow is pretty much an all around size. i have caught many five+ pound bass in one of my ponds with the 3 inch yellow minoowDetails:
If no one answers I will try this out and report the answer. Looking at the video, you can work it wacky style. That makes me wonder how effective it would be on a drop shot.Answers
A:
I have tried all the ways with no luck. I think a rubber worm works a lot better.A:
no one hasA:
sure use the smallest minow u have thoughA:
I have and it doesnt workJust use the weighted eyes
A:
I HAVE JIGGED AND DROP SHOT..ONCE HIT SETTLES 90% OF THE TIME YOU GET AN INSTANT HIT
Top 250 Contributor
A:
yes actually on my review i mentioned it...the 4 in and t3 inch work great ...the cotton candy color is good but the pearl red eye is amazingAnswers
A:
just flick your wrist.A:
It depends on how the fish are feeding. For aggressive bass/fish try a frantic random jerk in a 1, 12, 1, 12 pattern.If the fish are picky try drop shot, wacky, or even carolina rigged bouncing on the bottom.
This is a great go to lure when they wont hit anything else.
A:
slow --- quick jerks --- let it die --- most of the hits come when it is sinking

A:
I got mine off of the TV infomercial, it included a DVD with it that gave visual instructions and tips on how to work it for the best results. One way is to fish it "wacky style", "twitch-n-drop", even "dead stick" it. But the "bread-n-butter" technique is the "twitch-n-drop". And it is most effective in a clear water enviroment, because it has no rattles or sound attracters.I hope this helps you out, but don't be afraid to experiment and let the fish tell you themselves, Afterall; they can tell you better than anyone esle can.

I have been fishing with other lures and have been catching bass and when i am catching bass and i know there biting i try the banjo minnow but never have luck with it i have watched the video countless times so know im thinking im not creating the right action please help me or that was a waste of $20 thank you!Answers
A:
Sometimes you have to just figure out what the fish want. Try changing colors and different types of coverage and vegetation. I always use the jerk and real in the slack, try letting it fall longer.A:
I flip it in close to cover, lily pads submerged logs and let it fall, then i twitch rod tip and slowly reel in that slack. Generally Bass hit it on the fall. I don't use the other tecniques in the video.A:
I just jerk it a few times and stop for a few seconds and start again. I have had great success with it when I used it.A:
Have the same problem,it's a waste of money.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Id ask you where are you catching them before you try the banjo? These are more like a jerk bait so they are best in clearer shallow water and go through cover well without hanging up.A:
i had the same problem until i used the biggest hook and i landed most of them. If that doesnt work try going with a smaller minnow.Answers
A:
they have light 2 heavyA:
not very - small split shot weight

I've had good luck with bass & trout!
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Its very good. The minnows included are of a wide range of colors and sizes, so its usable in most fishing situations, but I believe it is mainly intended for bass.

whatever you do... dont waist your money on these... i dont care what you think you can catch on them.. this kit is a waist of moneyA:
