Hareline Lead Free Round Wire
Hareline Lead Free Round Wire is a round weighting wire for constructing artificial flies. The product name and description identify it as lead-free and made from a non-toxic heavy alloy. Its round profile is suited to orderly wraps around the hook shank and makes it possible to build a consistent layer beneath the fly body.
Construction and use
The wire is intended for nymphs and streamers that need additional weight to sink or hold a chosen position in the water. It can be placed under dubbing, chenille or another body material, with the length selected to suit the individual pattern. During tying, keep the tension steady and place adjacent turns close together. Before covering the wire, check that both ends are trimmed within the planned body area so they do not create unwanted projections.
