"After studying Johnson and his lure and method and fishing with
him over 20 days, I can tell you that luck has little, if anything,
to do with his success. he has taken knowledge ~ a vast amount of
hard~earned knowledge~ and then refined his fishing skills to a science
where he can very accurately predict where the fish will be and how many
and what sizes he will catch each day."

Rex Thomas, Rocky Mountain Sportsman, July 1986

"The best way for other anglers to learn how to catch trophy fish is for them
to take a closer look at how 'the expert,' Ray Johnson does it. He only uses
ONE LURE ~ his Real Minnow Lure. Every little compartment in his tackle box is
crammed with them....I strongly suggest you all try them....He developed a
better lure the likes of which you have never seen before...which really entices
all kinds of game fish."
