BANJO MINNOW

[Sonicrunch]

almost anything sold on TV infomercials are [PoorWordUsage]

I ran into the infomercial again. I'm just unsure. This included a 110 piece set.

Take the money you would have spent on that, go to a mom and pop bait store and have them recommend what to buy for that amount of money. You will be much happier, and you will have established a good working relationship with locals who know better than any greedy TV schmuck.

But wait! Order within the next ten minutes and we will double the offer.

[Sonicrunch]

but wait!! if you order now, you get a free state of Kansas jello mold!!!!

[TooTallTom]

Hey, are you guys serious about the double-offer and the Jell-O mold? Now that's tempting. With Kansas, I can complete my "Border Raiders" Civil War collection of Jell-O molds...

[PurpleFloyd]

I'd buy it if they threw in a free Slap Chop.

What about a box fan?

Geez, let a guy try something new if he wants. I mean, don't we wish we could have 10% of the cash back on the tackle we've bought and don't use/don't like anymore? I could probably fund a semester of college with that money.

By the way, I bought a Metrinch when it was infomercial fodder. Best small tool kit ever. I still carry and use that thing everywhere I go.

*Note* - I do not own any Helicopter lures, Hannon Snakes, Flying Lures or Banjo Minnows. Just thought I should denounce being a paid spokesperson for the Banjo Minnow.

In clear cold Canadian lakes it is the only lure I have seen that can compete with dead sticking smelt

[TooTallTom]

Like I said, I've purchased and used (successfully) the Banjo Minnow system. I wasn't having fun with the product, or with using it. I was having fun with the marketing (and not just for this lure, but TV marketing in general).

But wait, there's MORE! For the price, I think it's actually not a bad deal. I mean, go drop a twenty on Rapalas, and see how far you get... And if you act now, you might be able to buy them in stores, I know that's where I found mine.

On a side note:

I've often thought that Larry Dahlberg's Mr Wiggly sure seems like a supersized banjo minnow.

[TooTallTom]

mainbutter, what are you doing looking at Mr. Dahlberg's Mr. Wiggly? And I'm sure he's glad to hear that you think it's supersized...

[mainbutter]

you win the internets, lol. I'll own up to my fail.

[TooTallTom]

Keep your head up. Just don't let it happen again.

[Wanderer]

Yeah, it can get pretty dopey...

[Moose-Hunter]

What about a box fan?

Now THAT right there, is FUNNY!!

[TooTallTom]

I'm kind of afraid of box fans. I mean, you heard what that one did to that cat, right?

[RumRiverRat]

I boat the biggest Bass of my life today using a Banjo Minnow and a Pocket Fisherman!
