In the good old days it was sold as fuse wire and available in every hardware store...
John, I have been using a roll of electrical solder for weight 20 + years. Haven't used it up yet. It performs like the fly shop lead weight. I'm sure there is some difference in the weight but I can't tell it. It may be hard to find lead/tin solder now.

Thanks gentleman. If soldering wire will work that may be my best option. Costs abot 40% less than solid lead wire. If the weight is comparable it will work. I have never tied with soldering wire and my big concern is if it would break easily while wrapping around a hook. Thanks again for your replies.
