if i want the hook to ride point up, should i tie the weighted eyes on the top or bottom of the shank?

or does it not matter?

my logic is that if i tie it on the top of the shank, the weight will twist the hook down so it rides point down. kind of like a keel, is that correct? but then again the fur is pretty buoyant so i'm sure that has a bit to do with it too.
