Lead wire supplies your flies individually with the required weight. Whether nymphs, wet flies or streamers: A higher self-weight leads to more depth and can be the decisive difference.
This lead wire is flat and soft, which makes it ideal for building up multiple layers. Consequently, the perfect weight and the desired basic shape of your fly can be created, either by wrapping it around the hook shank or tying it straight on.
The width of the wire is always about 1 mm on each size (strength), exception 1,5mm (here is the width 1,5mm and the thickness 0,2mm)
