My dad caught his PB bass on a Banjo minnow about 25 or 30 years ago. He approximates it to be an 8 pounder.

I remember that TV commercial, the banjo minnow was not a drop shot rig though it could be used that way it's supposed to be a swim bait.

The way you fished the banjo minnow was probably the most disappointing thing I've seen you do thus far. It deserved so much more respect. 🤣 You fish it like a fluke.

@kvang254

agreed. I also used the Banjo Minnow like the fluke, and it honestly worked really good. Largemouth, Smallmouth, and pike really loved them. The reaction bite was insane. Even to this day, I wish I could find some of the old school Banjo Minnows. I'm not a fan of the newer ones.

@@kvang254 bro can I blow your mind real quick? I still do, but not the banjo. Get yourself some Bass Assassin's (I get the big ones) get some large soft lure spring twist locks, get Gamakatsu Weedless Finesse Wide Gap Hook 2/0, and silicone tubing for spinerbaits. Put them all together you got yourself a modern banjo minnow with way more action than the original.

I used the Banjo Minnow when it first came out and it was not segmented. I fished it like a fluke and it had a great action and caught a lot of fish. Fletchers delivery caught my attention.

Banjo minnow was my favorite lure growing up. Caught a bunch of big bass on the all white banjo minnow. The old school DVD instruction video makes all the difference. I remember emailing the guy who made them and sending pictures of the fish I caught and getting encouraging responses. Mulligan on that bait plz

I too am a banjo advocate. I still use them today and they have bailed me out on a few tough bites. I actually talked with Wayne Hockinmyer "the inventor" (not sure on spelling) years ago when you could no longer order just the parts. He sent me a few large bags of the 4" originals and said he got bought out by the company and they changed everything up. He said the changes they made absolutely reduced the effectiveness of the bait. I still use the originals but have some of the newer ones too. They originals absolutely out fish the 006 version and there was even a version that had minnow patterns painted on. I had some perch colored ones that were actually great at catching big perch on a dead fall. I no longer use the rubber band weed guards cause they are a pain in the arse. Fish them like a fluke on mono with a fast rod tip. You absolutely have to have some stretch and give them time to turn with the bait. Most bites will come when you kill it and let it dead fall. Your hookset should be a long sweep. if you use the 006 version don't use the eye inserts. Just twist in a trailer hook screw keeper into the nose and thread the point of the hook through the plastic head and eye of the keeper. not as good as the original but better than the current rigging system. The banjo minnow isn't perfect and it will twist up your line but there have been days when it was the only thing I could get bit on.

@@bigdoggstatus99 I just caught a fat warmouth yesterday on my flying lure.

For the banjo minnow, the rubber band was supposed to be used to go through the eye of the hook and wrap at the tip of the hook so you can use it in weeded areas.

Great to see you trying out this challenge! Haven't watched it yet but I can guess it's gonna be great

I remember the Banjo Minnow when I was growing up, my godfather took me to the bait store to get the deluxe box set they had w/the video tape that teaches you about how to use the lure. That was 1996 and I haven't seen them ever since, but have proven to be one of the best lures I have ever used!

Banjo minnows were best back in the early 90's with the original design. It was my go to for pond baits. I would go to it when nothing else was working. Slow fall, no weight works best. The best bait that used to be included was the neon green banjo frog. I would always and I mean ALWAYS get strikes on this lure. Have one on my wall from the banjo frog.

The Banjo was my go-to lure in the late 90's/early 2000's pong hopping. Still nothing as good as it IMO, but it took the "kit" to keep it going because of all the pieces and then they stopped selling the individual parts, only the full kit. Great action in ponds.

That walking worm was amazing!

So the banjo minnow isn’t supposed to be rigged as a drop shot, it should be fished the way it’s intended. Also to add to that you need to fish it like a glide bait, hopefully this helps you out, I’ve caught striper trout and bass as well as smallmouth with the s banjo minnow

When I tell you the glow in the dark banjo menu is an absolute slayer on brush piles and docks during the summer at night time we search out packs of banjo menos just for the glow in the dark one. I've tried tons of other glow in the dark soft plastic minnows they just don't produce like that glow-in-the-dark banjo does that sum bitch will always be my go-to for night Bass

Dying inside watching you dropshot the banjo minnow 😆. Fish it like a fluke and it slays man.

Nice video! I love when you upload!

I love this 😂

RTFM… 😂😂😂 As others have said, it’s not really a drop-shot rig. You attach the banjo minnow to the screw lock, slip one of the little black bands over the barb, the the eye of the screw lock then a second little black band. The small rubber band hooks through the hook’s eye and the slip over the barb foe a “weedless” rig.

Whenever rain is moving in when it's hot, I go right to a white banjo minnow. Fish it in 4-6 feet quick after it sinks. I'm amazed how good it works!

Almost pegged me with his worm!!! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha 🤣🤭 I spit my coffee everywhere

The banjo minnow had a frog that was AMAZING! I slayed some the biggest fish ever on that bad boy. Just drag it over the Lilly pads and you get hammered on the first sight of water.

I did very well with the original banjo minnow from the 90s. They were great on big creeks.

Gotta give the sales pitch to Fletcher, but I will say, when the video first started and Mike started pitching the Banjo Lure, I thought that you were doing a legit sponsor spot, so kudos! My only other thought is for Mike. Love your videos and right now I just completed watching a video of 2 of the best fishermen on KZread. ..my suggestion is that when you do videos with lures you don't normally use, use them as intended. Read the instructions. (inside of cardboard insert in this case) You might have actually come out ahead on day 1 if you'd fished the lure correctly. If it didn't work as a swim bait that day (it does normally), THEN experiment. Keep bringing the gold Mike! You are one of my favorite KZreadrs. (Loved the stuff with Flair and LFG. You really tried some new things and showed what a true sportsman you are. That Carp bow shot hitting the fish in the air with the arrow was epic!)

I can see i wasnt the only one Upset he was fishing the banjo minnow wrong.

The banjo minnow is actually amazing. Those colors you got in that package are kind of ridiculous though. The bands are to make it weedless. The thicker hooks are to fish it wacky rig. The heavier weights are to bottom bounce it. I used to stay up and watch that commercial. Begged my parents to order me one. That summer was the most successful season I had in my whole childhood.

Yall must of got that Billy mace info mercial white powder to start them advertisement schemes lol
