I don't know what article you're talking about, but my "Rule of Thumb" is to use a wire that is no bigger than the wire from which the hook is drawn, and, if possible, one size smaller.
This is also my ROT for lead substitute wire to weight a fly.

After reading a article about wire body flys I decided to add them to my arsenal of flys and I was wondering if there were any general rules as to what size wire to use for what size hook.
