    Smile Thin lead strip

    A while back I asked where I could get some of this material for weighting small nymphs.
    I received a response but now I cant find it due to a senior moment. Can someone refresh me? Thanks.

    How 'bout "twist ons" - the little matchstick kind of weighting for your line.

    You can also find it in Walmart in the golf section for weighting clubs. Theirs is sticky backed which will hold it in place.

    What I do is take my debarbing pliers and take a section of non-lead wire and just flatten it. You could also use lead if you are so inclined.
