I was talking to a old boy when i was fishing the other day and he told me he used to make lures out of goose quills? I did not have a clue what he was on about he said something about makeing them out of goose feathers and filling the quills with lead and attaching hooks :icon_eek:

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.
