    Over the past week i have broken 3 spinnerbaits and another was so bent I had to throw it away. They have went through normal use with nothing extraordinary happening. 2 broke on fish and to me that is unacceptable. They are less than a year old and I cannot believe this happened. On 1 spinnerbait the hook broke in half WTF? Has anybody else had this happen? I’ve fished terminators for a long time with no problems. Are they using junk to save some money on production costs? If thats the case whats the best spinnerbait on the market? Dan

    I’ve broken plenty, even when they were first out.

    ive broke multiple terminators in the same ways you have pictured. it sucks when you spend 6 or 7 bucks for them and they break on the first fish. 2 ive broke have broken on the firts fish…..

    Terminators are made from Titanium.

    I guess I feel fortunate, I’ve never, ever broken one. I’ve owned dozens of them. Pike are hard on them, mostly hard on the line where it becomes a knot. They’ve stolen way too many from me over the years.

    Ive never had a problem with the T-1 spinnerbaits but those are the most expensive….there was just a big sale on the stainless steel ones at cabelas for 2-3 dollars a piece….those wires are VERY thin and have been bending on me like crazy, but havnt broke quite yet

    If you send them to Terminator they will typically replace them.

    I have broken a few and just sent them back to Terminator and they sent new ones. In fact I think they sent a couple of extras.

    Yes Terminator will replace them at no cost!
