Don't knock the theory behind the banjo... Ive seen it work...

The theory or the lure?

The theory is sound. Most predators (fish) will strike any lure fished that way! A longer rubber body lure like a Slugo or Fin-S helps with the action but a solid lure will work too. Add a little flash and it's deadly.

The infomercial for the Banjo made it seem like they discovered that type of retrieve or it's built in to the lure. Not so. Basically the retrieve is a quick strip-pause-strip retrieve. Been using it to work my flies for 20 years!
