Soft Round Lead Wire Spool - Fly Tying This soft round lead wire is a popular fly tying material and the traditional method for adding weight to flies. Wrapped along the hook shank before you tie, it sinks nymphs and other patterns down into the strike zone, and the soft wire wraps cleanly and easily at the vise. It comes on a convenient spool, and choosing the right diameter is simple. As a rough guide, match the wire to your hook size: .015 suits #13 and #14 hooks, .020 works for #12 and #10, .025 for #8 and #6, and .030 for #4 and larger hooks.
