Check the clevice. If it's bent, fix it with a pair of needle-nosed pliers. The clevice attaches the blade to the wire shaft.

If the current is really slow, switch to a wider blade. It'll catch more water. If it's cupped at the tip... that will help as well.

Also, I'll crease my spinner blade length-wise sometimes as well. This will make a difference.

These are tips I've learned over the years that will hopefully help you out.

I hope this helps!
