Shane, that sounds like a hook placement issue. Can you post pictures of your design? Also post one with it rigged up, try to get shots of where the weight placement is. I usually drop 2 shot in the vent hole i have near the head so they'll sit a little closer to the chin, then a couple behind where I'd rig the hook. Also may just need to tune the nose loop slightly. Photos will help me clarify.
as far as bulk goes, top and bottom are consistent in thickness, avoid having any one area fatter than the other. Once you get the design down you'll be amazed at how simple it really is.
Also, what softness is the plastic you're pouring? What ratio?
