So here's the story. When i got into fishing at the very end of the 90s, i bought a black spinnerbait, which had a black skirt that was very stretchy compared to your standard skirts, had silver & blue flakes on the skirt, and both blades were in gold (one colorado and one willow). The wire was made out of titanium, and i am 85% certain that it was made by BlueFox, which, and correct me if i am wrong, made titatium spinnerbaits before Terminator? I remember the packaging being black with a bunch of fluorescent colors (yellows and oranges from what i recall) like many packages were in the 80s and 90s. So even though i bought this particular spinnerbait in around 2002, i believe that model was from the 90s. If Terminator was already making titanium spinnerbaits (it wasn't a Terminator T1 series) in the 90s, it is possible that it was made by Terminator as well, but a much higher chance it was Blue Fox.

That thing was insanely good for murky water that's usually in my rivers, and i lost it in the early 2000s by lifting a 4-5lb smallie from a bridge. Almost yearly, on random occasions, i try to google search for this thing, but nothing, simply cannot find anything about it. At this point, i feel like finding it in an InFisherman magazine released in the 90s or early 2000s would have a higher chance of fiding this exact model than googling it😑

Does anyone know which model these could be?

Blue Fox made a nickel titanium alloy spinnerbait called SmartWire introduced in 1999/2000. It featured "a rugged design, super-elastic frame, silicone skirts and a design that makes it easy to change blades and beads." The Black Flash spinnerbaits shown match your package description, but came out a few years earlier in 1993. I don’t believe they were titanium, but they could have carried the packaging over.

Have seen them, and the packaging does look kinda similar to what i remember it being, but they were in titanium, and these are in stainless. But those smartwire ones are interesting. I wonder how their packaging was, and how they look in color.

Haven’t found a picture of one (SmartWire) packaged. They later made a Ti-1 titanium spinnerbait, but that was well into the 2000s, so probably not the one you’re looking for.

I've had those Ti-1's, they were good, but too similar to the Terminator t1's. Crazy how there's no pictures on the web of the smartwire one.

Tagging with interest.

I got lucky and found one (just one) yesterday after looking on and off for 15 years easily. On eBay $19.99. it was $27.80 with tax and shipping. I ordered it so I'll see you when it gets here.

Caught my biggest bass last year on probably a 15 year old T1 spinnerbait.

 

It was still in new condition, just never touched water yet.

 

Lost it shorty after.

 

Went in a slight depression when I found out they weren't made anymore.   

I have been hunting for a goofy buzzbait that they made in the 90s it's the Mann's agitator. Has a styrofoam float for the blade. I had one when I was a kid and fished it everywhere because it didn't sink. I never caught much on it but I'd like to have one just because I was so fond of it as a kid. I saw one at the flea market months ago but the package was pretty much destroyed and it looked like mice had chewed the float.
