I have 2 photos for you of my recent trip and both were caught within ½ hour with the 006 7 inch clear glitter green back minnow that I received from my field test kit from NAFC. I loved the original, but these are great!! I have already ordered more and am awaiting their arrival. 1^st picture is a 42 inch Musky, and the second is a 40 inch Northern!!! Thanks for making such a great product!!!

I caught this big one using the 5" solid yellow minnow with red eyes on my

first day out! Nobody else was catching anything even though they were using

live bait, spinnerbaits, crank baits, and all other types of baits and

lures!

Hi Wayne, my name is Nathan.
Last Sunday, I was fishing off a bridge at Pawtuckaway Lake near Raymond, NH.
I was using an original Banjo, and didn't believe it worked. A little while later, I caught a 6lbs 23" Largemougth Bass.
Thanks for the great lure Wayne! sorry, but I don't have any pictures.

Hi Wayne,

I just thought I would tell you about the fish I caught with your awesome banjo minnows. I was fishing in Maine at

Biscay Pond last Monday with a banjo minnow that my cousin gave me, I wasn’t catching anything but I knew they

worked because my cousin kept catching big fish.

I caught some weeds but then I felt some tugging on the line and I reeled in about a 1 1/2 foot large mouth bass around

4 pounds. And I also caught a 1 1 /4 foot long 2 1/2 pound pickerel. I will send you some Pics

Thanks so much for such a great product

Dwight

July 31, 2010

Dwight decided to go fishing, as he could never pass up fishing, any time, anywhere you could fish. We stopped at a sporting store

so that he could put new 20lb line on his reel, and then went right to the "Rocks" near the pier, where Dwight chose to fish

He was going to try out the Banjo Minnow lures he bought a year ago, the plastic wiggling colorful little fish that Bass fishermen use for bait.

Anyway, Dwight picked a spot where he could give that rod a real good cast. For a long time I sat on the rocks way above, then I saw a

raccoon climb out from the rocks and it scared me so I climbed right up into the truck where it couldn't get me, and watched from there.

Dwight had watched to see what the other fishermen were using for bait, and picked the Banjo Minnow that looked most like the anchovy,

and due to that outgoing tide he had to clamp on three split-shot weights onto the hook to get it deeper in the water..........Not soon after,

I watched as I saw Dwight jerk the line, I've seen him do it so many times before, and viola he's on to one of the great pleasures of his life,

fighting a fish, and testing the line, and working the fish to tire him out, and ......about this time calling for me to get the net, I'm willing but I'm

not that fast on steep rocks! A couple men in a boat stopped to see if they could help and everyone in other boats were watching Dwight.

He hung on and bounced around from rock to rock, and .....yelled "get the net baby, and get the skillet hot!" So I grab the net and start down

the rocks when I hear a yell from someone "Hey, you need help with that net?". I couldn't have yelled any louder to say "yes, yes, here's the net".

This man jumped right down to me, grabed the net and on down the rocks to meet up with my determined fisherman. Dwight instructed this friendly

guy to "just wait, wait until I get him tired and I'll bring him right to you." After 25 minutes battling the monster, sure enough, here came the fish,

there went the net, and the two met up, and Dwight had his fish!

Now the funny thing about this catch was not just that he caught this fish against all odds, because there were 100 boats I counted in the harbor

and only 4 had caught a fish in the time we were there. Dwight's cousin fished all day and never had a bite. The funny thing is that he caught this

fish with that TV banjo minnow! It hooked that fish right in the corner of his mouth, and Dwight was soooooo pleased. That fish was huge,

weighed out to be 37 lbs. I've seen salmon that are as long, 42", but not with such girth. It was shiny and bright and big! "Yea baby", I was yelling

and smiling from ear to ear and some fishermen hollered too.

Every fisherman wanted to know what he used for bait. When he told them the Banjo Minnow none of them could believe it! They never even

got a bite the whole day, and here we were, ready to go with the big fish two hours from the time we started. What a blast! That's when I grabbed

the camera and took these pictures. See that lure hanging out of Mr. salmon's mouth, that's the Banjo Minnow. See the man with the big smile, that's

Dwight.

We went to Lex's Landing to weigh the fish and Larry, (the owner) asked if Dwight would like to enter the contest for the biggest salmon caught,

the weight had to be at least 35lbs. and this one was 37 lbs. The prize was a mount of the fish. He said no, but gave Larry the skin for possibly

mounting later.

This was a very fun trip and it has been a blast to tell the story, (which got around the community in no time at all.) When we mentioned the story

the next day almost everyone we talked to asked "was that you? We heard about you". Good end to a short weekend trip. Thank you Banjo Minnow

we will be using these for a long time to come.

I took my banjo minnows to a private pond on the 14th this week. It is a small pond with mostly small bass where i do some management fishing to keep it from being over populated. On my last run I threw a pearl 3in. minnow into a corner full of fallen branches. Suddenly i saw a giant largemouth charge at my minnow and a giant mouth engulf it. After fighting it on my lightweight tackle I landed a 10lbs. bass!

My name is Jordan Blair, I am from Centennial, Colorado and I'm 14 years old. Yesterday, I received my 100 piece set. I was so excited to try them out so, my dad took me out to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal this morning around 7:00. By 7:30, I had already caught 2 bass! I can easily say that the banjo minnow is the best bait I've ever used! It looks so real in the water and the way it triggers a genetic response in the bass is amazing. Thank you. :)

HI Wayne

I purchased the Banjo Minnow about a week ago and figured it was just something that I would keep in the tackle box. Boy! Oh Boy! Was I WRONG! I went a familiar place where previously I had tried spinner baits, hard plastic lures, and various different color plastic worms and I only got a couple of hits. DUDE! I threw this minnow in on the first cast. BAM!! A 4 pound bass! Second cast. Bam! A 3 pound bass! Get this, I cast a third time. Bam!! Another largemouth bass! I was floored!!! Three cast and three big fish all within 10-12 minutes on an overcast day! The total for the days fishing (2 hours) was 18 bass caught and released of various sizes. For only the second time in my life I got tire from catching fish. I am hooked (pun definitely intended) on the Banjo minnow for life. I’m afraid to tell my friends. I want to keep it a secret

Chris

Hi Wayne, I caught these two fish on the 5 inch black back silverflake 06 minnow. Me and my friend Chris (who is holding the tailless fish) were fishing just north of Deckers, CO on the S. Platte river in late june. The first one hit it in the outflow of a rapids, in the middle of the current, after swimming it once and letting it fall. I got the fish with no tail 4 days later in the same spot and same minnow. It hit it after the bait was out of the rapids and I was jigging it. I'm having a lot of fun with the banjo minnows so far. Thanks for the big fish

Wayne -

I tell ya, when I fish I am the type of person to use live bait. For the simple fact that I have never been real good at lures. Last year my dad had shown me the banjo minnow. And I have seen them on tv but I thought it was just another one of those infomercials that never work. So I was a hard core skepctic, and it was hard for me to believe even coming from my dad. Well the day he shown me the lures, he took me fishing later that day. And i couldn't believe my eyes. Since then I went and bought the banjo minnow. from the first cast i make to the last so far i have nailed some BIG bass! Just recently here in kentucky it has been storming alot flooding up the lakes. Making the water murky and unfishable for the other fishermen. Well i went straight out to the local lake. I was standing next to about three others fishing with lures and nightcrawlers. I had asked them hows the fishing today with a regular response " not very good". First cast in and WHAM! nailed a nice 1.5 lb and 10 inch bass. for the next thirty minutes the fish were biting left and right. I then made my way over to a walking bride where there has been known to have some big bass. One other guy was there, asking me how I was doing. And being modest as I am I told him i was doing ok. At that spot i was catching some small ones here and there. After about fifteen minutes I casted near some brush in the water, and nailed a nice 4lb 16inch bass. I will never change lures ever again. This has been the best lure i had ever seen.

Murph

I tried using a worm, like my great uncle said. But I spent two days and couldn't catch mutiply bass. I only caught one bassout of thoes two days. So i try using a robin worm for a hour and a half, and only caught one. Then I desided to use a Banjo Minnow. It was the eighth cast, and I caught a small mouth bass that was approximatly 11" inches. Then I told myself that it was luck. Then I went to anthor spot, and casted about 30 more time and caught a 13" inch smallmouth bass. Then I decided that it wasn't hypothetical; it was a lure that was at the top of the list and the best

First Time with the Banjo

The very first time i ever fished with the banjo minnow i was amazed with the action the lure had. I caught tons of fish on that day including this beautiful 6.5 lb. Bass. I will continue to fish the minnow and write you of my success.

Hi, this is kyle collins from southern Md. Me and my grandfather just got the banjo minnow and love it! I just wanted to tell you that i ahve had the best luck with banjo minnow. On my fith cast i cought a 4 pound large mouth bass. It really does what it says it does.

June 3, 2010

This is the best lure ever invented!!!!! My friend was fishing with it and five minutes in he got a 14 inch largemouth, in a pond with barely any largemouth. My other friend wasn't catching anything so he used a banjo and on his first cast, he caught a 16inch largemouth. My friends brother just caught the Colorado state record northern pike on one, but he threw it back before a game warden came because it would have taken about 2 hours. The northern weighed 46 pounds and was 36inches long!! Thanks for the lure they truely work!!!!

I first saw the lure on tv and I was amazed after I saw the one guy who caught pike with it.Then my dad said they should call it banjo diddo. Then my brother proved that it can work. He caught a 3 pound 2 ounce large mouth bass.Please email back if you get this mesage.

PS I think it works the most for striper bass because I almost caught a 7 pound striper with it.

To Wayne,.
My son purchased the 006 kit.He gave it to me for a fathers day gift.On fathers day I went fishing to a creek that I have fished for 20 years.I have caught alot of fish there.,but nothing huge.On that day I wanted to see if the banjo minnows worked.On my 4th cast I caught a 30" northern pike .I was using a white with red eyes 4" minnow.I changed colors to a clear 4"minnow.On my 5th cast I caught a 22",5.5 lb largemouth bass which is very huge for around here.My granddaughter and another son were fishing with me and didnt catch nothing.I let my son try the minnows and he had 2 different fish coming in but lost them.He has to watch the dvd.That day was more exciting than getting a huge buck on opening day.Your product is the ultimate for fisherman or woman of all ages.Here are pictures of my catch. p.s. It was the best fathers day of my life.

i got my banjo kit today i am 36 and been fishing all my life and all i can say is this thing is awesome! iwent to a good bass lake w/ my dad he fished from the front of the boat using what was in his tackle box and i fished from the back using only the banjo 006 and it caught more fish 3 to 1 over all the lures my dad tried it has been very rainy and cool the last couple days and that turned the bite right off but the banjo actually performed well enough to make this a good day fishin' thanks banjo.....i'm hooked no pun intended

I caught the biggest, or second biggest trout I have ever caught (in 35 years) last Monday (6/21/10). I got it on the S. Platte just outside of Deckers, CO. I used a 5" black back silverflash. I threw it into the outflow of a rapids and swam it once and he hit it. I have pics and I never see trout in success stories. I'd love to have this fish as another testimonial to your great bait system. He was about 22", and another fisherman I talked to said "I haven't heard anyone catching anything on a bait like that". Thanks, Jonathan

Hi my name is Nik im 17 years old. I bought the banjo minnow kit today and went fishing right after my purchase. I was on the Fox River by the parts around Princeton, WI. On my second cast i caught an awesome 16 inch small mouth. When i thought it couldnt get better i went down stream and caught another 18 inch small mouth. this was in the span of a half hour. i am by no means anything close to a pro fisherman and this lure has already changed the results i regularly see. For anyone that thinks this is a scam i gotta say i used to be a sceptic myself but now ill tell anyone you dont know what your missing. thanks for making a great product

Hi Wayne,

I, like so many others, have enjoyed fishing with the Banjo Minnows.

In 2009, I spent four days fishing in Thorne Bay, Alaska and enjoyed fishing with the banjo minnows and catching Silver and Pink salmon, rockfish, and snapper.

But, the two best catches were a 200 pound Halibut caught on a 9" pearl minnow and a 80 pound Halibut caught on a 9" blue back minnow! I have these two catches recorded on video. Let me know if you would like a copy!

I am returning to Thorne Bay, AK this year, and I hope I can share more stories of success.......

Caught this 8lb to possible 11 lb largemouth here in Sunny Fla off East Lake Toho w/ a 5" watermelon with red flake 006 minnow. I'm sold on em and I need to order some more soon.

What an experience

Alex

I caught my first northern snakehead on banjo minnow 8 lb trophy fish in far east!!! I used the 4in banjo minnow and then i fished a 7in banjo minnow near bamboo and egg shape plants in far east. I caught a 8 lb snakehead on 7in minnow, it jumped 4 ft into the air then blackflip, then landed in water. Snakehead can jump as good as tarpon when they reach the size 2-3ft , which makes them a fun fish to catch. I used the banjo minnow in New York and caught bass, pickerel, crappie, and warmouth sunfish. I seen crappie and warmouth sunfish choke on banjo minnow trying to eat it!!! A warmouth sunfish tryed six times to eat the minnow though it was the same size as fish. I fished in falcon lake kansas and caught 22 bass in one hour with banjo minnow. I fished with my friend and out fished him, he asked me to have some banjo minnows after i started to catch 9 bass in 8 minutes. I fished in back waters of trinity river in Texas caught spotted bass, largemouth, and white bass on banjo minnow. My banjo minnows should arrive this thursday, which i'm excited because now i can fish them in gulf coast Texas. All saltwater guys are using gulp, livebait, and topwaters. I will blow them away with the banjo minnow!!! I only had two banjo minnows in far east, which didn't allow me to catch other species of predator fish when i used them up. Banjo minnow and doug hannon fishing snake are the only two lures that duplicate nature, even new swimbaits don't have great swimming action of banjo minnow. Thanks Wayne and i will send pics when i catch some new fish.

Josh Whitney

Wayne i have tried literally hundreds of different baits, techniques, and lures for the past 4 years to get this monster out of a local pond that I've fished my whole life. This fish wouldn't ever even look at anything i ever threw at it...i was so frustrated that i quit trying to get him. The first five minutes i was fishing with the banjo minnow i caught him. He had grown to 25 inches and 11 pounds. I currently have him in my freezer until i can save up some money to get him mounted....

J. Holden

Wayne; I recently returned from fishing on Clear Lake, northern Calif. The

water was high and cold, so fishing was not optimal. My friend let me use

his banjominnow when nothing else was working. Please see attachment for

the result. I caught that fish on almost the last cast before I left.

Dudley

I love the banjo minnow! saw a very noticeable increase in bites and catches. i would suggest it to any one. this is one of the first bass i caught at my house. cant wait to get to the lake! when i do i will be sure to to get more pictures. thanks!

Aron

Here is a photo of the 33lb laker I caught on a Banjo!

Bradley

hey just wanted to tell you about my experience with the 006 minnow.. well i saw a commercial on tv and decided to try it.. well when i just got it about three days ago.. i tried it out today and the first couple of throws nothing happened, and i was fishing in a pond with bass that was pretty easy to catch. i was getting ready to leave and write ya'll and say that i was not satisfied with it when i decided to try the ways the video taught me to fish with it and on the very next throw BAM!!! caught a big six pounder. and within thirty min caught five 4 pounders and about 7 three pounders... but what impressed me was my buddy pelky was fishing with every other lure.. like crankbaits and rattle traps and did not catch anything.. thanks for a great lure, the fish really do hit even if they aint hungry

I youst caught the most red fish ive ever caught in my entire life. On my first cast i got an 8pound red fish!!! The best coler i used that day was the pure white one(4 inch).

Thank you so much for making this lure

.

John

thank you so very much, 3/225 /2010. My friend and I went fishish on the very large pond in his backyard and the wind was 25-35 mph. Absolutly nothing was biting so my frind gave up. He was using a spinner bai. I was using a banjo minnow the water temp. was around 35 degrees. I used a chartruse 4" minnow with weighted eyes, and the weighted hook that came with the starter kit. I caught this one only 5 minutes after my friend gave up with the spinner bait.

Kevin

Hi, my name is Kevin and I just bought the banjo minnow and went down to this little creek by my house, where I've been before and threw every thing I had and never caught anything With the banjo minnow I caught three bass, and they were nice size ones, within 30 mins. I cant wait to go wadding in the Tampa Bay at one of my spots and try how well they work in shallow water for reds,snook and trout

My friend and I were just throwing a few casts out killing some time. Was getting ready to head home to have dinner with my family and heard a big splash right behind me. So I quickley casted where I saw the movement in the water and was lucky enough to reel this baby in! I also encluded a picture of the lake I caught it at during sunrise. Love this place... it's a shame people dont know how to clean up after themselves.

Hello Wayne,

I have written to you in the past…but I have yet another great story about my Banjo Minnow fishing experience…I live here, close to the Salton Sea in southern California, and I am an avid fisherman. I have been using the Banjo for almost 13 years, and I have had MUCH success with it. I learned a lot from last year’s spawning bass and crappie experience. This year my bass are getting bigger, one was a little over 2 pounds, then a few days later I caught a bigger one than that…close to sunset, I caught a real good sized Rainbow Trout…then I caught THE biggest crappie to date(over one-and-a-half pounds at 14 inches in length-the one on the picture) This bass and crappie in the picture was enough meat to take home that evening. The crappie in the lagoon right behind me are going wild. I hit a cove that’s heavily structured and easy to loose my banjos, but I was casting and playing it just right to hook, not the logs, but 6 great looking crappie-that were just slamming the banjos. I was using the original-3” blue/white peppered minnow(I was able to hook it up 006 style by easily making holes on the head and inserting the eyes with eyelet on the end-My wife got me these for Valentine's Day) These minnows are perfect because of the size and the perfect hook set..so I didn’t miss many. The biggest crappie I caught was with the 4 inch-pearl white minnow. Two weeks ago I hit the Highline canal and the water was real clear this time around, and caught a bass that got me so shaken up and mad(because as I landed it, it slipped off the hook and went back into the water) after that I caught about 12 not-legal-sized bass that I of course released unharmed. I love these Banjo Minnows….as a matter of fact I’ve already convinced about 3 fishermen to buy them. When I caught the 6 crappie the other day, a man and his two kids began to fish close to me(Carolina rig and all that stuff), he didn’t catch anything, but just kept seeing me pulling them out of the water. I told him that all I use is the Banjo Minnow and informed him about the website and test kit he can buy. I hope all of you doubting Thomases out there give this lure a try because it will blow you away, no matter what some people will say about them. I started fishing the Banjo Minnow back in 1997 as a kid and I always knew that it wasn’t a gimmick..now, I’m 26 and order Banjo parts and very proudly tell people about what I’m using. Thank you Wayne for an amazing time you’ve given us with the Banjo Minnow... I will fish this lure as long as I’m alive. THANK YOU -Jose

My husband recieved his Banjo Minnow for Fathers Day 2009. He had never tried it until this year. Feb 13, 2010, he decided to try out the Silver Shiner at a lake here in Phoenix, AZ. He was gone for about 5 hours and called home so excited he could barely speak. Told me he caught 20 bass and he could barely make it back to the truck. He was fishing from the shore, so I thought he was pulling my leg. Well, as you can tell from the picture he wasn't. He did catch 20 bass, some white bass, large mouth and some strippers. There were 2 that were 24 inches in length. He had so many fish he had to tie the cooler lid on to keep from losing them. Let me tell you, it has been hard living with him for the last couple of weeks. He's as happy as a kid in a candy store. I am so proud of him, and we both will be using Banjo Minnows in the future.

Thank you, Susan & Denny Chapman

Hello, My name is Sean Guiheen. I have learned that your lure works great! It works so well that when me and my friend went to go fishing I caught 3 pickerel all above 13 in. My friend wanted these lures so bad, when i wasn't looking he tried to steal so banjo rigs from me. This lure works well and I can't wait to use it again in this upcoming season.

I caught it with a 5ft ultra lite Shakespeare combo. A 3 inch 006 green moon minnow that was painted to look injured. The fish was 19in in length, 13in in girth. I estimated that the fish weighed in at 8 lbs. . I did not have a scale to be accurate. I caught it at 6:30pm on Feb. 3, 2010. It hit me about 5 ft off of shore in the lake by my house in Sunrise, Florida. That is in the Ft. Lauderdale section of Florida.

i love the banjo minnow kit. have caught a lot of fish with them. I had some back problems last year and didn't get to fish hardly at all. So I didn't get to use them. Got them back out about mid March. I had told my fishing buddies about them. They wanted to see them in action so i showed them. After a few trips out a few were considering buying them. Well I had caught a few off the 4inch glow in the dark one. then i hooked into a nice one about a 7 to 8lber it managed to throw the hook but the minnow was gone and so where the eyes. How could that happen. Well i got out a set of regular eyes put on a 3 inch blue and white one. they didnt hit immediately but then they started to hit. Friends where glad different colors worked as well. But they are still wondering how the other one came off the hook as well as me. Well i hooked another one and it wrapped me around a tree and i only had 6 lb test and it broke so i tied on another hook. put my last set of eyes in a 5 inch yellow or pearl not for sure which minnow and gave it a sling. well after a few cast i let one of my buddies start to try it out (my back was hurting we had been fishing for a while). He casted it a few times well on his third or fourth cast i saw the minnow flow through the air plop it hit the water a fish nailed the heck out of it when it hit the water. i was waiting for him to reel it in. he was looking in disgust he had the line and hook in his hand. they weren't connected to the minnow no more. I still haven't figured that on out either. he said he would never on them if they had those problems. i told him that it had never happened before hand. could they have gotten to hot in the building where they where stored or what. just trying to figure out what went wrong, so it doesnt happen again. I still like the minnows them self the work when alot other lures doesnt work. thank you very much hope to hear from you soon.

I've been using the Banjo Minnow (or as we call it "The Bass Killer") in my home town of Hammonton New Jersey for the past few years now. I remember as a kid I used to see the commericals on TV, and I begged my mom to get it for me. After years of waiting she got them for me as a birthday present. Ever since I've been catching more Bass than ever! This year alone I already caught two monsters! On Easter Sunday, myself and a friend went out to Walker Road, one of my favorite spots growing up. I've been catching a lot of crappy on the 3" minnows and was getting a little tired of the non excitement of catching a Bass. So around 7:30 PM the Sun was really starting to come down, I decided to call it a day when I heard this giant splash behind me. I quickley rigged a 3" bright green minnow on my line and tossed it into the water. I gave it a few quick jerks and within seconds I felt this pull on my line! When I finally got the bass to land I was so full of energy and excitement just because of the size of this monster. I am now offically going to be using the banjo minnow as long as I fish. I would love to send in some pics of the fish I've been catching!
