What is UTC Lead Wire?
Lead wire is one of the most widely used fly-tying materials for adding weight to flies. Wrapped around the hook shank before the body is formed, it helps flies sink faster while maintaining a slim and natural profile.
UTC Lead Wire features a perfectly consistent diameter and a soft structure that produces smooth, compact wraps without cracking or distortion. It is equally suitable for traditional fly patterns and modern competition-style nymphs.
