Terminator Spinnerbaits
I fish a small 7 arce pond 98% of the time, I've always like Terminator
Spinnerbaits in the 1/8 oz. Tiny T model, I like it that a 3-4 pound fish
does not destroy it or that I need to retune it.The last 2 I've bought both had the whole swivel & blade come off, I don't
think I'm ruff on them, I place them in a binder when not in use. Anybody
else been having problems with these Tint T's? I use 6 pound line and only replace them when I hang one up in a tree or
give them to a kid who's been watching me catch them when he's not. Mike |

| Look at the break and see if you can figure out from the surface area if its
been bent and twisted to break or if it was a defect in the wire. A
magnifying glass may help. Contact Terminator and send them a couple picks
of the broken baits. I have not used their spinnerbaits, but I really like the recessed line tie,
and the wire bait holder on their jigs. Good stuff. |

| Terminators losing blade/swivel assemblies is pretty much standard
operating procedure. I know some guys who actually heat the wire at the
loop to be able to close it down tighter with a pair of pliers. Others
put a drop of superglue on end of the wire to keep the loop from opening
enough in normal use to allow the split ring to slide through the gap. |

| Mike,
Their website sucks, but try this number - 800-944-4766 I have found that whenever I have had a problem with a product, that
if I contact the manufacturer directly and explain the problem
politley and ask THEM what the solution is, they almost always respond
in a positive manner. I had a problem similar to yours a few years
back, with Little Cleo lures. I sent them an email, and they replied
asking for a couple of more details. They requested that I send them
one of the defective products - they settled for a few digital photos.
About a week later, I went to my mailbox and there was a package from
the company - with 2 dozen assorted lures. YMMV --
Calling an Illegal Alien an "Undocumented Worker" is like calling a
Crack Dealer an "Unlicensed Pharmacist" |

| I had numerous problems with the titanium wire breaking on various sizes of
Terminator spinnerbaits. In their defense, they did replace every broken spinnerbait, usually at a
ratio of two to one broken. But it got to be a hassle and with Secret
Weapon spinnerbaits, getting a spinnerbait bent isn't as much of a problem
as it is with a conventional spinnerbait. You might want to look at
http://www.secretweaponlures.com and see if there's something there you
like. I'm sure you'll manage to find something...... |

| Thanks for all of your help. I'll give them a call and take it from there.
Might have been a bad batch like was mentioned, I might go through 15-20 a
year so who knows... Mike "Mike Getz" <mgetz@jsnetworks.com> wrote in message |
