The lead wraps you are referring to are called Twistons. They come packaged much like a book of matches and are about the same size as a match. They are hard to find and not worth the effort!
As mentioned above, you can put a pc of lead on each side of the hook shank. Or, you can wrap the lead wire, build a dam of thread in front of and behind the lead, then flatten it out with a pair of non serrated pliers.
