Default Lead tape for inverted flies

Hi all.
I like the idea of tying a few inverted flies to reduce snagging.
I also like the look of the belly created when using lead tape.

Wondered if any use this method to invert their flies but also where do you get your tape from???

Many thanks

You'll probably be wanting the veniard's adhesive lead sheet. You can get it from tackle shops that carry fly tying stuff, or on-line. Here's just one place I found it:

Veniards Adhesive Lead Foil - Lakeland Fly-Tying Limited

You just cut it into strips with a pair of scissors.

Hi, if you'd like some FREE lead sheets, from the back of dental x-ray film. Then p.m. me for an address to send a small stamped addressed jiffy bag to.
It's lighter than Ven's & has no adhesive on it so it's a lot easier to handle.

This offer is open to anyone reading this post by the way.
