Wow, you'd think they'd have that puppy perfected my now. I remember seeing ads on TV for the Banjo Minnow about 20 years ago! The front positioned hook means the minnow must be "inhaled or engulfed" entirely by the fish. (That's from the website.) The stop and go retrieve will help with that, but if you're after a species that goes for a tail hit from behind, I imagine you'd have to be awfully patient before even trying to set the hook.
Please keep us posted, I just moved away from the ocean and have to get some freshwater lures. Thanks.
