Lead wrap not the lead wire

I havent had any luck finding lead wrap for fly tying. Ive been using the lead wire but have seen in alot of fly tying books they recommend the wrap. Would anyone know where I could find that or something similar?

lol i wish i could tye a fly in a minute or two guess i just have to keep on practicing.fellas i have found a wonderful web site all  about flyfishing and tying.is called flyanglersonline.com check it out the fly archives have lots of different flys  and is all step by step. paul

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.

I use copper elecreical transformer wire not quite as heavy as the lead but it works fine.

kyler, sometimes i've found them at shops with the splitshots. sometimes bagged individualy and hung up. i don't use them when tying flies but i do idisagree with green weiner about them being useless.  this is about all i use instead of spit shots. they don't hang up on rocks like split shots. way easier to get off your line. they distribute the weight along the line than in one spot. by pinching them off with your fingernail you can add the exact amount of weight you want or untwist them while still on your line and break a piece off for less weight. easier to use when your hands are freezing also.  ~dt
