I found a Vision 110 floating in the lake with the hooks rusted off. I’ve been trying to replace the hooks and get it balanced to suspend horizontal, but when I get it to suspend or float, it usually sits heads-up, tail sunk. When jerked it will level off horizontal for a second, then the tail will usually sink. When I adjust the hardware to get it to sit horizontal, it slowly sinks. Is it just supposed to sit like that? Maybe this one is damaged from being in the lake too long. It’s transparent, so I can see there’s no condensation in there, but there is a little rust along the tracks the ball bearing rolls on. The ball rolls smoothly.

It's supposed to sit nose-down diagonally (I guess at like 45 degrees?) when 'in-action'. After a cast, when the weights are in the tail from the cast, it will sit nose-up almost vertical...But as soon as you start moving the bait the weights will roll into the correct position and it will sit nose-down as it's supposed to. Sometimes the weights can get stuck in the tail causing it to sit nose up all the time...A good tap or two will unfreeze them (if not, send it back to MB for a replacement). There are no magnets in a Vision 110. The weights roll back and forth with gravity. The Vision 110 has 2 ball bearings for the weight transfer, not 1. I don't know of a 110 off the top of my head with a single ball for weigh transfer...Jr, +1, and FX are all two, the ITO Shiner is 3. #6 Katsuge Oubarbs are the direct replacement for a standard 110. #5 G-Finesse have been said to be a very good alternative...However I prefer the factory outbarbs.
