Round Lead Wire Looking to catch BIGGER fish? Add a little lead wire to your flies. We are all for catching big fish on small flies. There is nothing like light-line dry fly fishing. However, too many times you may need to fish nymphs or streamers for various situations to catch the larger fish. In these situations, having some weighted flies can save the day. Use this spooled lead to add a little weight to any of your patterns. Use the .010 micro size on a size16-18 (for breaking the surface tension of the water) all the way to the size .030 heavy size for creating a meaty "lunker hole" diving streamer. "Fish the soft water hydraulics with a few streamers tied with lead wire, or even better yet, tungsten beads or cones. Trust me..." Dave C. |
