[cool][#0000ff]The Banjo Minnow commercials make the rounds every 10 years or so...after the last batch of suckers (buyers) dies off or forgets. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]TubeDudes Axiom: Fishing lures work inversely to the amount of promotion and hype needed to sell them. In other words, if they gotta spend a fortune to sell them, they are designed to catch more fishermen than fish.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Think about it. If something really works, it does not take infomercials to spread the word. The fisherman's grapevine kicks in and suddenly you can't find any left on the shelves.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Almost ANYTHING will catch SOMETHING...SOMEWHERE...SOME TIME. But, nothing will catch all species all the time like they claim for some of that miracle garbage they sell on infomercials.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]As has been suggested, proper use of good old tubes, grubs and swim baits will catch as many or more fish...for less money.[/#0000ff]
