Tip
Tip: Add lead wire under the body for weight, and leave plenty of room at the front
How to do it: Place lead wire under the body for weight, reserving ample front room
Mistake it fixes: Adding weight without reserving front room
Why it works: Underbody wire gives weight without changing external profile. Front room allows proper head and hackle placement.
When it matters most: Fly tying, weighting
