When your tying in weight do you prefer bead heads to lead wrap or do you use both for various reasons? In Joe Humphreys's book "Trout Tactics" he talks about weighting nymphs with lead wrap then flattening it with pliers for a more lifelike movement in the water. Has anyone tried this with any success.
The bead head approach seems to be the simplest way to tie in weight but if lead wrap is a superior method and produces a more productive fly then that's the way I would prefer to go.
Any and all input on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
