Ha Ha! I actually bought a set of the "Banjo Minnow" lures when they first transitioned from TV only to the Wal-Mart shelves! They frustrated me at first, but I actually caught quite a few nice smallmouth bass at Deer Creek with them. The problem I have is that I can't detect the bite very well with them, so I'm sure I've missed more fish. The only times I've caught fish on them were when I could actually see into the water far enough to watch the fish strike and then set the hook. I even caught a nice largemouth at Utah Lake this way, but it was in only 1 ft. of water so I could still see him. Haven't used them for a couple of years though.[cool]
