Semperfli Lead-Free Fly Tying Wire

Weight and shape beneath the dressing

Semperfli lead-free wire is an alternative to lead wire for building weighted underbodies. Wind it around the hook shank to add mass, or use controlled layers where the pattern needs a shaped body. It is a weighting material rather than a substitute for every decorative rib.

Choose the diameter deliberately

Finer wire allows more control over small bodies; thicker wire builds bulk more quickly. Leave room for the thread, body material and head. Secure the ends so they cannot rotate under the dressing. The weight of the finished fly also depends on hook, bead and the length of wire used.
