Lead Wire Spooled

I know people are more "environmentally conscious" nowadays, buts it's just hard to beat lead. I mean, you don't have to use all that much to get your fly down so a spool lasts a LONG time. Whereas you go throw twice as much tin or lead free wire, hence you're wasting plastic in the spools. So maybe lead is more environmentally friendly after all....

In most cases when I want add weight to a fly I am tying, it will be lead wire. I ensure I am always stocked with .010" through 030" spools of lead wire. In recent years the price has gone up, but it is still crucial ingredient I buy without question. Of course, I don't use this product on dry flies and classic wet flies.

Makes flies sink , it's a lot heavier than the lead free stuff.
