01FISHING TACKLE

Soft lead for precise hook weighting

A spool of fine, malleable lead sits ready on the bench, waiting to be coiled around a hook shank or tucked into a model chassis. It is the quiet enabler behind a well-balanced lure, offering weight without bulk.

This 2mm gauge provides significant mass, ideal for anglers tying heavy flies or hobbyists seeking reliable ballast. Cut it to any length and wrap it tight for a secure, traditional finish.

02MATERIALS

Malleable lead for secure wrapping

The core of this product is its softness. Unlike stiff wire that resists bending, this lead yields easily under pressure, allowing it to conform tightly to the curves of a hook shank. This pliability ensures the wire stays put once wrapped, creating a smooth, integrated profile that does not snag line or fabric during casting.

IN USE

Precision weighting for fly tying

At 2mm diameter, this gauge delivers 35.6 grams per metre, a substantial weight suitable for deep water or large patterns. Anglers can cut short segments to add just enough mass to get a fly down quickly, while model builders use longer runs as stable ballast. The consistent density makes calculating the final weight straightforward and repeatable.

DETAILS

Compact packaging for easy storage

The 2-metre length arrives in a slim carton measuring 12 by 7 by 1 centimetre, weighing just 0.1 kilograms including the pack. This compact footprint means it fits neatly in a tackle box drawer or workshop shelf without taking up valuable space. The light package weight makes it an easy addition to any kit, whether you are travelling to the river or working at home.
