Default 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.

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.
