Tip
Tip: Use close, touching wraps for weighting wire
How to do it: Wrap weighting wire in close, touching turns without gaps
Mistake it fixes: Wrapping weighting wire with gaps
Why it works: Touching wraps give even weight distribution and a smooth underbody. Gaps create uneven weight and lumps.
When it matters most: Fly tying, nymph weighting
