Quick take

Four sizes of soft round lead wire for weighting nymph bodies and streamers in fly tying.

This soft round lead wire comes as four diameters in one set, from 0.5 mm up to 2.0 mm. Fly tyers wrap it onto the hook shank to add weight to nymphs and streamers so they sink faster. Soft lead is easy to wind by hand, and the thinner sizes suit small flies while the thicker one adds more weight.

Best for

  • Adding weight to nymph patterns that need to sink quickly
  • Building weighted streamer flies
  • Creating realistic-sinking fly imitations

Skip if

  • You tie dry flies or floating patterns
  • You prefer non-lead weighting materials

Strengths

  • Soft lead is easy to wrap onto fly bodies
  • Four sizes cover most fly tying weights
  • Reusable storage pouch keeps sizes organized

Trade-offs

  • Lead dust can accumulate during wrapping
  • Soft lead may flatten if over-wrapped tightly
  • Larger sizes provide less length for small flies
