Has anyone tried one of those jointed bait fish which is rechargeable? You are supposed to use it with a bobber and it should swim for 10 to 15 seconds and then hold, start again.

Thinking of buying and trying.

Fishin for bass? Go for it hotrod and let us know. How much is the thing? I remember about 20 years ago when the banjo minnow was all the rage - on tv. Don't see those anymore. What do I know? I fish for trout, and so far this year, not very well.

Maybe you need an electric hook Spirit. We used to hear about the Hillbillies playing a BANJO Minnow. Now a robotic fish. Maybe you could come up with an electric hook. Supposedly all the fish we target are attracted to positive voltages. Just where would the battery be?

Hey now, those banjo minnows worked!!!! We were up at a high Mountain lake and my lil brother had some. I made fun of him. Shortly after he was laughing at me. He was catching Brookies and Golden's left and right. They wouldn't hit anything else.lol now ya can't find em.

I bought a set of them. I never caught anything. The infomercials on the Florida Microwave showed fish getting caught. I think I still have the complete set. I just felt like the old fact of fishing equipment. It does not have to catch a fish. It just has to catch the eye and wallet of the fisherman.

Well, I bought one on Amazon for $27. I am in FLorida now and will try it in the lake I live on down here. This lake has many bass but most are 10 to 12 inches. I know there are a few 6 to 9 pounders since a few have been caught by others.
The robotic fish comes with alligator clips and plugs into a USB port. Also it swims near the top of the water and goes in circles. I will have time the end of this week or next week to try it out. I will let you know the results.

Don't waste your money . There are no magic lures . They are made to catch fishermen, and they do !
