I have been trying to tie up some scuds and sowbugs. I use tungston beads for all my midges and nymphs but really don't like the look of beadhead scuds. I was wondering about using lead wire to weight the scud. On a size 16 and 18, how many lead wraps to get the approximate weight of a 5/64 tungston bead. Or do you guys have another weighting option.
