01FISHING TACKLE

Soft lead for precise hook weighting

A spool of fine lead wire sits quietly on the workbench, ready to transform a bare hook into a weighted tool. Its slender profile fits neatly into a tackle box, waiting for the next session by the water's edge.

This 1mm gauge offers a practical middle ground for anglers tying flies or using soft plastics. It provides enough mass to sink a lure without overwhelming the presentation, making it suitable for both novice and seasoned hands.

02MATERIALS

Malleable lead in a one millimetre gauge

The wire is crafted from lead, chosen for its density and pliability. At one millimetre in diameter, it strikes a balance between strength and flexibility, allowing it to bend around the hook shank without snapping or kinking under light pressure.

IN USE

Wrapping weight directly onto the hook

Cutting the wire to length and coiling it around the shank is a straightforward process. The softness of the material means it conforms to the curve of the hook, securing the weight close to the point where lift and drag are most critical.

SPECS

Four metres of twelve point five gram density

Each package contains four metres of this specific gauge, equating to a linear weight of 12.5 grams per metre. This specification helps anglers calculate the exact amount of ballast needed for their target depth or current conditions.

VERSATILITY

Beyond the fishing rod and reel

While primarily designed for angling, this lead wire serves other creative purposes. Hobbyists use it as ballast in model cars or as weights for buoyancy projects, appreciating the ease with which it can be shaped and secured in various applications.
