I like the old Blue Fox and Terminator spinerbaits with a titanium wire, but they're both discontinued, and i have none left. Is there a company that makes spinnerbaits with a titanium wire that doesn't deform and break after 20 fish?

Stanley makes one. I caught my pb largemouth, 13-2, on one with big double willow blades. I have had one break at the line tie r-bend area, but just that one.

Checked on ebay and tacklewarehouse. Not seeing any in titanium.

I think they were called "platinum wedge".

Checked them out. No mention of titanium and the wire looks like standard stainless. I wonder if any JDM brands use them, but have never seen one.

Not titanium but heavy duty, I highly recommend warbaits spinner baits.

Looks solid, but i really want the titanium wire for longevity and especially not seeing it deform after every fish.

Well that's awesome, i never knew Berkely had titanium spinnerbaits, and pretty cheap too. Do you happen to have a site where these can be purchased for a decent price? I checked a few Japanese sites and couldn't find them on sale.

I caught a 43" musky on a Terminator spinnerbait. That bait was pulled straight but as soon as I landed the fish and gave it it some slack it snapped back to shaped and was flawless. I was already a fan but that sold me on them.

I use 24 gauge floral wire to reinforce the R bend on my spinnerbaits, and they don't open.
This photo shows the wire, in my first try. I now use five wraps, reinforced with a drop of super glue.
