Lead Wire Spooled

In addition to adding weight, I find it very useful to seat flies requiring bead heads-push the lead wraps into the bead head.

The old reliable. Great for nymphs, junk, & streamers.

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....
