I bought a couple budget- friendly topwater baits to introduce my young sons to the wonderful world of topwater fishing. One of the baits I picked up was a Heddon torpedo. Simple concept, fun and easy for a kid to use.  Took it out yesterday, only to find that the blade doesn't spin. Back in the day, it SEEMED like they always worked out of the package but I stopped buying them in the last 10-years after getting a couple that didn't (and because there's a lot of other cool looking stuff out there). How are you getting the prop moving correctly,  anything specific,  or just mess with it until it works?

I loosened the screw holding the propeller a little and adjusted the pitch of the blade.
