1nstinct Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 I was wondering how many people have bought the lure/lure kits they have seen on tv or the internet such as the banjo minnow or those rabbit hair jigs(you tube)? and how they worked out for you? thanks ~Tom~ Quote
Super User grimlin Posted March 28, 2011 Super User Posted March 28, 2011 yeah got suckered in the hydra lure when it first came out.Piece of crap..... Worst thing I ever brought.Those plastic heads that comes with the package actually cracked.The action was so and so.I would have been better off buying just a regular swimbait from any quality name company(Zoom fluke for an example). I don't know exactly what hooks they used,but they felt pretty dang cheap. Quote
Big-B_2579 Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 I had two different "info-mercial" kits when I was a lot younger : Banjo minnow , and one called the Stim-U-Lure (anybody remember that one ? ) . Not much luck with the Banjo , but actually caught a lot of fish on the other in a small farm pond I used to fish . Probably because I'm sure the fish had never seen one before. For the most part , I believe most of those type things are a gimmick just trying to get your $$$. You'll do just as well with the basics if fished @ the right time/place . Quote
krisjack69 Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 I have had the banjo minnow,hellicopter lure and the flying lure.Never really fished the hellicopter since it looked like crap.The flying lure and banjo minnow I did pretty good on.Go hit in the face by the flying lure tho.That time is really was a flying lure lol.Got it stuck in a tree or something and I was pulling at and it came flying to me and hit me in my face before I new it lol.I also had this shad imation plastic lure.I forget its name tho.it came with one hardbait and the rest plastic baits and came with some hooks attached to a weight of some kind.Banjo minnow is just like a fluke pretty much.the hook is placed different.

jdw174 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 For as much bashing as they get, I actually didn't do half bad with the Helicopter Lure. Buddy of mine that owned a bait shop had given me one to try. It worked rather well in slop, didn't seem to pick up a lot of trash. Quote
