After describing my problem and sending a few pics to go along with it, I inquired about getting a replacement blade rather than having to purchase a whole new spinnerbait.
Here is the response I got...
All I can say to that is...NorthAMfishing wrote:Sure thing, just gimme your mailing address. Hey sometimes it happens, we do our best to make sure every spinnerbait gets inspected before it goes out but sometime we get a bad split ring or bad ball bearing
from our supplier from time to time. Believe it or not, you are the first faulty product problem that's come to our attention this year and we've sold a tonne. We stand behind our products with confidence 100%! One blade coming your way.
Nice fish by the way.

These guys really stand behind their product. I'll definately be adding many more to my collection.
Thanks Frank... NorthAMfishing rocks!
