The ERA photos pretty much say it all. I would add two comments.

First, always leave your wiring a bit slack as opposed to taut. This allows you to see if your spinner is correctly tightened. If the wire gets taut, they are loosening!

Second, leave about 1" on the tie off from the spinner ear, and "curl" the excess with a pair of needlenose pliers, making sure the end is tucked in. Saves you or an unfortunate bystander the experience of accidentally brushing against it and opening up an arm, leg, etc.
