The reason behind the heavier hydrometer bulb is the sinking of hydrometer is inversely proportional to the density of hydrometer, hence hydrometers is made heavier.

We all know that hydrometers float in liquid hence to maintain the centre of gravity while floating the hydrometer is made heavier using lead shots.
