More Iron Questions - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I know this might be difficult to do, but can anybody describe how a good swimming iron swims as opposed to one that should be thrown out? How do I know if I have a good one, besides catching fish? I know it's not supposed to spin. Also, I have heard that a surface iron is supposed to enter the water more quietly than a heavy iron, so as not to spook nearby surface fish. But my surface iron makes a big splash and my heavy iron enters with a more quiet rip. Am I doing something wrong?
