Do these provide a strong vibration when ripped and paused? Does the regular depth raider hold it's depth well or does it rise too quickly when paused? I've had great success with this rip and pause technique over deep weed beds this fall and was looking for some more baits. Thanks!

Bucher now makes a suspended DepthRaider. It's for the jerkbaiting the app you speak of. The normal DepthRaider floats pretty quick. Although the remember DepthRaider (think of it's name) is a somewhat deeper running bait and is generally not intended for running over weeds, but alongside a weedline.

The jointed ones hang a little longer than the solid ones too. The solid ones rise fairly quickly. They do dig pretty deep like NPike said. Not sure how deep the weeds your fishing are but the good old shallow raider is great for the jerkbaits technique. Storm Flatsticks actually work pretty well too but may take more tweaking out of the box.

MTO site didn't say they rattled. Got and they rattle. I prefer non-rattling. Do they make them? Who carries them?

You can deaden the rattle, heat up a needle with a candle and pierce the plastic.
Spray in foam and then seal it back up.
Google search weighting and sealing plugs, done in saltwater all the time with no issues
Good Luck
