brno17 5 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 he'll be talking about quill minnows mate, i used to use them in a dropping flood or upstream spinning at night for sea trout on the border esk, they were deadly. have a look at this link to evilbay or google "quill minnows" and you'll see what they are. if you're buying any make sure and buy them with the tail and two flying trebles as ive watched sea trout and salmon attack them from the side gripping them across. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/COLLECTION-TEN-VINTAGE-QUILL-MINNOWS-/190381626821 atb alan.
