How to Fish The Banjo Minnow

The most lifelike 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!
