i use spinnerbaits a fair amount as well and there is one absolute MUST that spinnerbaits must have for me to even consider them. these have it. its the completely closed eye loop. i use duo-lock snaps on my leaders on my pike rods, and using a snap on a non-closed loop spinnerbait is incredibly frustrating with constant fouling.

  When I first started using spinner baits I would get the kind with the open loop. As you mentioned they tangle ALL the time, even if you tie your line directly to the wire like some say you should. It's especially
bad with braid vs mono.

  It was so bad I came up with a DIY fix for the open loop spinners I still have.  I got some clear plastic tubing like on a ice maker and cut a piece about 1/4 long and slid that on the wire open loop and then clip on my Duo-Lock snap/swivel. Not as good as a looped spinner but pretty close. Now I buy only the closed loop spinners.
