I'm from australia, and just bought those banjo minnow fishing lures. Do they work in saltwater?

Want to know if The banjo minnow fishing lures on tv will work in Australian saltwater fishing evironments, particularly estuaries, and if so, what type of fish can I expect to catch. Anyone else from Australia had success with them in saltwater?

1. Im not sure about salt water but i used them in fresh water and didnt catch anything with them.
2. They catch more fishermen than fish. Freshwater grade, I'd give them two thumbs down. More hype than bite.
3. I am not a big fan of these. You could try them but I would have many choices of baits to use before the infamous Banjo Minnow.

5. If you know how to use them, they are a GREAT BAIT. However they catch more smaller fish than bigger fish.... If the fish you are fishing for are going after bait fish then I would use them.. they imitate a dying bait fish very well, and I have some. I do not use them all the time, but they have their time and place. You have to see what type of bait fish are being fed on in the waters you re fishing, saltwater or freshwater. If you see the correct size and close enough color of the banjo minnow, then yes they will prob work.. if not then you might get lucky.. . The banjo minnow is just like any other lure, it will catch fish at the correct time for that lure... Do not count on just them.
