The most life-like fishing lure ever created!
The Banjo Minnow is not reeled in like a conventional lure.
It must be retrieved with short quick jerks. After each short,
quick jerk, the rod tip should snap back towards the lure.....
creating slack in the line. This slack allows the lure to move
in different directions creating random directional action.
There should be a pause between each jerk. That is when
the strike will come and the slack allows the bait to be inhaled.
(It is important to allow the bait to be sucked backwards into
the fishes mouth, otherwise it can miss the hook). When
a person becomes comfortable with the stop and go action
and creating slack line, they can then try and put a wiggle
in the jerk.
In other words the jerk is made up of a number of tiny mini
jerks. This makes the Banjo Minnow swim. It is not necessary
to make most fish bite, but once the swimming action is
learned the Banjo becomes undetectable from a real injured
bait fish. It will put you at an elite level as a fisherman and
allow you to out-fish anyone who is not using a Banjo Minnow!
