Does anyone else have this problem with the 3/8 oz models??? I was thinking it may have something to do with how they were being stored, but I don't have the issue with the 1/4 oz size or with other brands. Just wondering??? I will probably attempt to contact Strike King but not expecting a reply.

Yep, seems to be due catching fish on them. I've caught 40+ on it my last two trips to Fork. Doesn't seem to make a difference to the fish.
You might try to put a drop of super glue on them before you use it. Might help...

I can fix those. They will be epoxied in place and never come off.

You are definitely correct on catching lots of fish!

Happens on all of my Strike King spinner baits to. I emailed them about it a few years ago but got no response.
