Spinnerbait Blades

[CHRGD]

I do appreciate your time and efforts smalljaw. I didn't think it would be this big of a deal. I searched their new bait on the market, and while they are still using this blade, I can not find any of their painted willows in the 4.5 size on a 1/2 oz. I see some smaller ones, probably 1/4 or 3/8th oz. I guess I'll just buy up some of the older Terms I find on the bargain table sometimes, and tear them down for the parts. Once again, thank you for your time, efforts, and knowledge on this subject. Jeff

No problem, and if I run into any from my suppliers I'll give you a shout and let you know but I'm afraid it will only be the mag willow style.

Thanks again, much appreciated.

Now you understand why I tell those who say you can buy them that it just isn't so, what you see turn up at Janns netcraft from time to time is old stock from outdoor innovations. And when Terminator was owned by them they only had the oklahoma or turtle back blade, they didn't use the beveled willow leaf blade you see on them now. I know the company that manufacturers the blades and I contacted them and I was told that those blades are patent protected which is why you don't see other places copy those blades and Terminator or Rapala continues to pay a nice sum of money every 10 years to keep them exclusive to Terminator and that tells me they get quite a few request from us do-it-yourself tackle makers to purchase their blades. The only reason I contacted them for you twas to show some people that they are not on the open market and while the mag willo is a good substitute for the oklahoma blade there isn't any for the beveled willow. I also tried to get the Nichols shattered glass blades and they too are exclusive.

That's what I was saying in my original post. You see them turn up a LOT. I used to buy them by the thousand, but now some guy name Chris has me covered.
