Giant jointed swimmer weighting question...

I'm trying to get the weighting correct for a big jointed swimmer (ok it may look somewhat like mureel ). It's big, AYC and about 1-3/16 dia and nearly a foot long including wire. I'm making it this big to impress my wife

Currently I've got a small shot in the back of the tail (~.125 ounce) and a larger shot (~.3 ounce) in the front of the tail. There is no lead in the front section.

It's still riding a bit high in the center, but swims really well. I'm assuming I want to keep the lead at the rear. Should I just keep adding more weight to the front of the back half, or start to load the back of the front half until she sits level???

thanks!
