So these are one of my favorite baits, and I need to order a couple colors that I’m running out of.  Was looking at Strike Kong’s website and it says both are made without rattles.  
 

In my current stock I’ve got a few with rattles and a few without- did they change it at some point or did they stop making the rattling version?

Bass pro sells the only rattle version .

Yup -- bass pro has an exclusive deal to sell the rattling version.

 

Do the rattles matter? I really don't know  -- I have some of both, and but pretty much just treat them interchangeably without worrying about it.

They're getting ready to release a hard knocking version. Pretty pumped about that.

 

 

I throw the silent in clear water and rattler in stained/muddy water. But sometimes they want the opposite.
