Treble hooks with feathers
I've been trying to find some treble hooks with feathers like the one pictured to replace on some old spinners. Does anyone know where I might be able to find some locally I don't want to buy chinese crap. Cheers :thumbsup:

Drop into a reject shop or similar. I bought a bag of feathers from a craft shop and bound them myself. Some cotton and some nail polish.

Re: Treble hooks with feathers
I remember as a kid we would collect feathers that were on the ground from Galahs and other parrots as we were fishing and my old man would glue them on later but I didn't think of just buying feathers good idea Murlz thanks mate :cheers:Murlz wrote:Drop into a reject shop or similar.

Murlz is right, but, you have the stuff at homeMurlz wrote:Drop into a reject shop or similar. I bought a bag of feathers from a craft shop and bound them myself. Some cotton and some nail polish.
Feathers from one of your old boa's, you've got plenty of nail polish & food dye from when your baking or I could give you some of mine
I have some secquine material also, if that's any good

Re: Treble hooks with feathers
Just found an old cats toy
It has "feather like" material on it, $2 or reject shops
