Default Fine lead wire

Can anyone suggest lead wire which is finer than the .010 stuff from wapsi?

I got my favourite stuff years ago which was really extra fine from Celtic fly tying but it appears to be discontinued (like all good products I like..).

to keep a smaller profile to the fly i flatten my lead wire with a hammer-this also eliminates a lot of the voids you get using round wire


all the best Nick

A wooden or hard plastic seam roller that decorators use for wallpapering works quicker & more consistently, use it on a hard surface for best effect.
