Thanks for the reply and suggestions.
Yes , I am using a slotted tungsten bead .
The lead wire I had already ordered is .020 . Should do fine .
Before I thought of using lead wire , I used two beads . A slotted 4.6mm on the front , followed by a smaller 3mm cyclops bead, then my chenille and rabbit zonker fur tail .
Looked a little odd but got my total weight up to 1.5g . A 4mm with a 3mm , got me a 1.25g .
I think the wire will be better .
