Kwikies are no different than any other plug. No matter how much you try to tune them, some just don't catch fish. I'd guess that 75% of the plugs that I buy end up with the hooks removed and are used as christmas tree ornaments.
It appears that all of the new colors are rattle only. I suppose that you could special order them in bulk w/o the rattle, but I haven't noticed any difference.
