Where to buy flat lead wire?

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone knew where to buy spools of flat lead wire to weight nymphs, especially Czech nymphs? Any input appreciated.

Thanks,

Jed Green

i found it on a google search

 

round lead wire is perfectly acceptable for czech nymphs

 

a golf pro shop should also carry lead sheet that can be cut into strips

Why not use smooth jawed pliers and flatten the round lead you already have?

Check out any local sport shops, that sell golf equipment, they usually carries tons of flat lead tape for golf club heads. I picked up a roll last year, for about $7.50, enough to probably last me a life time. You'll have to cut into what ever strip widths you need but a good value.

just go to you local paint/wallpaper store and buy a seam roller. Place your round lead on a hard surface and roll it flat. You can use it on any size round lead

Here's a second vote for Cascade/Crest... Pat Dunlop has been my source for square lead wire for many years...
