Hi Tyers, I'm totally new to the idea of wrapping wire around a hook shank to get a fly deeper. I have no experience casting with weighted flies except for tiny jigs. I need to know if there is a standard for the number of wraps you can put on a fly before it gets too unwieldy. I'd like to know before I tie many more flies without being able to try them out. I'd hate to have to razor blade them apart and start over.
I'm using no-lead wire approximately the size of the hook shanks I'm weighting. Most of my flies are on aberdeen hooks, but some will be on long shanked hooks.
