Yes. Just in case they can't find it for you (cause they couldn't for
me, sorry kevin) it's sitting on top of a standalone rack by the
waders. There's containers of split shot there as well.

Go to any golf repair shop and they will have it. It's used to change
the swing weight of a golf club

Thanks again,

I think I'll stay away from the golf shops though. That looks like
one of those sports a guy could get obsessed with and spend alot of
money. Unlike fly fishing!
:rofl:

I never used it (lead foil). I do still have two or three big spools
of lead wire.
But I'm trying not to use that as much as I once did.

Beads, brass wire and nickel barbells make it expendable.
One side effect of long-term lead exposure
is stupidity, no? Sometimes I wonder about all those streamers
I used to make.....and the gray-stained fingers I got making them.

The Dinsmore's lead-free split shot is the way to go. That lead tape
crap is A)lead (isn't there enough lead in rivers around here?) and
B)not very good. It kinda slides up and down where ever it wants to
go.

There is also lead-free weight for fly-tying. One kind I just found on
ebay is called "bodywrap".

Just to clarify, the lead is for making thin,tapered underbodies such as
w/zonkers. I am not a big fan of lead either, that is why in my original
thread I said "or similar". The problem is,where do you find a material
that has the properties of lead but isn't lead?
