Banjo Minnow Fishing Lure News, Success Stories, and Letters
August 2009
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEND US A STORY OR PICTURE, E-MAIL US AT wayne@banjominnow.com
Below are letters and e-mails from Banjo Minnow Fishermen/women. We get literally thousands of letters telling us of their success. It is impossible for us to print them all, but here are a few of the best.
Other Banjo fishermen/women love to hear about others success with the Banjo. Every Banjo fan shares the same secret. They bought it with great doubt or it was given to them. They didn't want anyone to see them using it at first, and then they were amazed to learn that the infomercial didn't lie, that the stories were true......the Banjo Minnow really will out fish any lure in existence today (except in murky or muddy water, then it is the same as other lures). All Banjo users take great glee in out fishing the "the experts who know its just another stupid TV lure"!

From: George Carini Hi Wayne, We probably picked the worst week of the last summer to fish (2009)- the last week in August but we still got some great fish. The first picture is one I got from Indian Pond with our guide Chris. The second picture is the one I got off shore in Lake Moxie after only fishing for a few minutes and having never fished there before. The second fish I caught on the new 006 banjo that is a white color with black spots on it. The third picture is a fish that my girlfriend Debbie got also from Indian Pond. The biggest fish I got was 20 inch smallie that I never got a picture of but Chis took one. As he said "That one is a beast." It was definitely the biggest smallmouth I have ever caught and I got it on one of the 5 inch 006 Banjo minnows. Maybe I can get a copy of the picture from Chris. At the time I had enough of problem just landing the thing. I was so glad I didn't lose it that I forgot everything else. Anyway thanks for putting us on to Chris who was a great guide and for in my opinion a truly great lure and maybe the best of all time: the Banjo Minnow. At first I thought the old minnow was superior because I was so used to it. But now I know that the new 006 Banjo has better action and swims more naturally. I thank you for creating the Banjo Minnow and putting in the work to improve something that was all ready near perfection. The new minnows are more durable and easier to rig as well. I have studied lures and their actions all of my life and attempted to find the best possible way to use each one. In the classes I have taught to beginning anglers I have and will continue to recommend the Banjo Minnow as being an effective bait that is easy to use. Thanks again and hope to see you soon. |

From: Malvin (BEUDREAU) Steward My wife bought me a set of your Bango minnows and eyes and hooks for my birthday and it was the best birthday present that I could ask for. I am a pond hopper. I like to fish ponds and pools, thats where the big bass are just waiting under the lillie pads.The first day that I took them fishing I caught a 8.5 pounder,and a 6 pounder. The second day I caught another 8 and a halfer. So in my eyes the banjo minnow is the best fishing lure that has been put out on the market EVER, no buts, ifs or ands, its just the best their is!!! Thanks for the fun, I will be a Bango minnow spokes person for life. Now I need to go and order some eyes and hooks. Thanks again Your Pond Pal Beudreau. P.S. I work nights so I dont have a day phone on until after 12:00 noon Monday-Thursday. |
