2001-2002 Banjo Minnow
4
The Most life like Artificial fishing lure ever!

• Looks exactly like a real fish
• Mimics spastic action of a wounded dying minnow
• Triggers a genetic response and compels fish to
  bite.

The development of the Banjo Minnow

• 1. Fish would fallow unnatural looking baits but
  not bite
• 2. They needed a lure that that looked and swam
  like a real minnow
• 3. Over many years and many failures, efforts
  resulted in a lure that looked and swam like a
  real minnow

6
...Continued

• 4. Something other than realistic look was
  provoking fish to bite
• 5. By accident this lure made fish bite when they
  weren't even hungry
• 6. The concept of genetic response was born

Techniques

• Some techniques for using to Banjo Minnow are...
• Cast the lure, let it bounce off the bottom, on a
  slow retrieve stopping every three to four turns
• Cast the minnow and let it die, and after four
  seconds then jig it
• simply jerk, sink, and wind

8
Color Techniques

• Try matching your minnow color with what is
  preyed upon by the fish your catching-
• On bright days, use dark colors minnows
• On cloudy days use brighter color minnows
• Use the golden minnow around sunset with calm
  but turbid water

9
Color techniques continued...

• Use the Chartreuse minnow when fishing in
  dirty, mucky waters, on a bright,sunny day
• Use the natural minnow on clear lakes, when
  its a bright,sunny days. Usually in submerged
  waters

10
Other Tips

• Use a light weight jig (enough to sink but not
  too fast) and then slowly retrieving it works on
  rocky bottoms
• When using Banjo Frogs, let the frog sit for two
  to three seconds on a lily pad, twitch to move
  the frog. This movement makes it look like the
  frog is jumping.
