    Terminator Titanium Wire Spinnerbaits

    These have been my favorite spinnerbaits for several years but it looks like they have been discontinued. Anyone know why? Is there a plan to reintroduce a new version? Thanks.

    Not sure about a new version but Rapala/Terminator has a few left in stock on their website.

    Not sure either but I really liked them as well. They died along with the Terminator name I think.

    The Terminator name isn't gone...some of the best frogs on the market in my opinion. A bunch of jigs, stainless spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, probably some other stuff.

    I have 10-12 of the first gen Terminator spinnerbaits and they still work great, just keep changing skirts and blades as time goes on. I don’t like the newer ones very much, and really dislike the SS wire ones.

    They do make a great frog! I’ll buy the Terminator frogs over anything else!

    Have been searching the internet and can't really find anything as to why they have been discontinued. Looks like the best available option now is the Omega Genesis Ti spinnerbait. Molix also has one available.

    According to the Rapala customer service reply I got, the item has been discontinued.
