Sometimes with the cheap ones, you really need to get them moving for the blades to start spinning. Mepps will spin even on the slowest retrieve. You also gotta remember the different shaped blades will make a difference in how deep they run and how much noise they make. The longer, thin blades (willow blades) that Rooster Tails have will spin faster, make a little less vibration, and allow the lure to run a little deeper. The French blades, the round ones on Mepps and Blue Foxes, spin slower and create more noise and will run shallower at the same speed. Blue Fox Vibrax inlines have that bell on them (pink one) that causes extra vibration so it will help in murky water or at night.
That yellow and silver one with the eyes on it is the shitty Bass Pro inline. The blade doesn't spin worth a damn and they aren't even that cheap compared to other inlines.
