I forgot to mention I tried both a egw hook and offset shank hook as well. thank for the help guys

Hi everyone. This is my first official post, I've been lurking around for some time reading all this site has to offer. But any ways back on track. So today I had some free time and thought it would be a good idea to practice a little flipping and pitching in the back yard. My son's 4 foot plastic pool was filled to the brim from all the rain we have had recently and I thought it would be perfect. So I noticed when I was flipping or pitching both the jig and texas rigged sweet beaver that they always fell over in the water. The jig would just turn over on its side unless I hopped it across the bottom. The texas rigged sweet beaver would no matter what, always land and settle with the hook pointing down. I tied both baits with a clinch knot and improved clinch and also a polamer knot and nothing improved. So this has me thinking. Do you guys think that since I was using a hard plastic pool with less than a foot of water and no current that it was causing the problems? I made sure the jig trailer was lined up and hooked properly as well as the texas rig. Maybe it has to do with not having much line in the water since the pool was so small. Either way what do you guys think? Thank for your help
