I only have experience with larger lead and lead substitute, but I just wrap it by hand. Using a bobbin doesnt seem necessary since its rarely more than 20 wraps, usually half that. The lead doesnt unwind once you wrap it so there is no need for wrapping over itself like you do to start thread.


Just take the end of the wire, set it on the hook and pinch it around, then hold onto that edge with one hand to keep it from spinning around the shank while you wrap with your other hand. Then slide it along the shank where you want it and secure with super glue/head cement/thread depending on personal preference.
