depends on what brand they are. most of them have tension setters on them.Its located at the top where the flag sits.find the nut under the T part of the tip-up and adjust that one way or another then adjust the T part down to the nut. that might be the problem.try that

i know on my tip-ups if you leave them out in the cold over night the grease in the tip-up will freeze up a little. i just spin the spool a few time and it frees it up.

actually your tip ups get like that because the lube they are filled with does get stiff in the cold weather and if you give them a couple of turns with your fingers, that should do the trick, let me know how you have made out thanks.
