mike rousseau Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Just wondering what TV fishing items you have used... Love em? Hate em? I had the flying lure kit as a kid... Worked good for a kid trying to jig rock bass off a dock... I I currently use and love the "fishing butler" for keeping my 2 piece rods together...

Acountdeleted Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I was bought the banjo minnow one year for Christmas. I'm not a fan of swim baits...... I'm not sure it came out of the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solopaddler Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) As a very young kid I begged my parents for one of these things. Can still remember how excited I was when I got one for my birthday. Don't think I ever used it for anything LOL!

bigugli Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 We always figure that it was not that good if the tackle shops did not carry it. That said, my son convinced me to buy a pack of OBO floats, because Italo said they were the best slip floats. Looked like a pair of lopsided dumbells They fell apart real fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) lol the banjo minnow is a horrid looking swimbait???. Thats awesome you caught fish on it though! At a buddies cabin I found an old pocket fisherman and laughed at the thought of trying it. Hopped in a canoe and off I went. No bites no nothing. Last time I reeled in I had a nice 13-14" walleye on and I had no clue until it was on the surface ???. Super sensitive they are not.

DanD Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 My Dad used a pocket fisherman for ice fishing. It laid on the floor, beside the hole in the fish hut and he hand bombed the line. LOL Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bare foot wader Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 lol nothing wrong with the banjo minnow, it did catch a ton of fish (received 2 kits for gifts)...gimmicky sales pitch though...the cork screw/rigging method was innovative for it's time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
