If I catch on them the pictures are going here!

Cool! Cheap lures are hit and miss. I've bought 5 one time, they were all different model crank baits with horrible colors. My intention was to paint them the way I wanted to use for bass. The paint jobs turned out pretty good, but 4 outta the five lures would run in current, even after modifying them. The one that did work though absolutely smashed bass on all last season. I painted it glow in the dark chartruesse, and it dove to 6ft. Eventually I lost in on a snag. I was heartbroked, lol

Inline spinners? Bass style spinners? Walleye spinners (lieke a Lindy Rig style)?

Inline spinners like Mepps aglia.

Maybe if I put it side-by-side with my aglia I could notice differences that cause the malfunction. maybe hammering the blade into a different shape would make them spin.

Thats odd? Those spinners should turn real easy. Check the clevis that holds the blade in place, maybe it's pinched off?
