Vision 110, vertical orientation in the water

[07Rapala]

I was using a Vision 110+1 Jr. yesterday and noticed that the lure held a vertical orientation in the water. Is this normal?

 

I'm 90% sure it was nose down, but can't remember exactly right now. I may or may not have traded out some hooks last fall to adjust the buoyancy and get it to sink very slowly. Maybe I messed something up?

110s should suspend horizontally...either something is off with the balance, or you've gotten water in the hollow inside the lure.

Out of the box they're a nose down bait.

 

Something like the Shimano World Minnow is a perfectly horizontal Jerkbait

Maybe cast the vision off some rocks or pontoons and that'll make it neutrally buoyant horizontally.

Vision 110's sit nose-down when paused pretty noticeably....Like a 45 degree angle downward.  They are slow floaters not suspenders (out of the box).

In this Economy???

Most of mine stock out of the box were nose down slightly.  Is your a silent version?  The silent ones I have are the most inconsistent as to how they suspend.

Mine is down more like a 70 or 80-degree angle. Maybe I messed with the weight distribution too much. I'll check it out tonight.

They are designed to suspend nose down. Nothing is wrong with your lure

In the bucket it looks like it’s about 60-degrees nose down, I swear it was more out on the lake. Looks like the original hooks. I’m going to put a bit heavier hook on the back, it’s rising faster than I would like anyway.

I have 8 of them, all of them are nose down in the water, like 45-60 degree, I'm sure it's by design, the tungsten weights change the center of gravity to the front.

No, 110s are a nose down bait.

The weights might have been in the "cast" location (rear of lure). A quick shake will move them to the retrieve position.
