[Mr Cholmondeley-Corker (PaSC)]

EERGH, HMMM!

How did we get from ethical sourcing of peacock quills to stinky slippers?

 

[Poshpaul (Angling Trust and PaSC)]

With consummate ease

My wife will tell you that mine smell too, and I DON'T shower or bath regularly, so it's nothing to do with the water.

Intriguing question Maggie

 

[Wizzy (Chris Martin)]

My size 9 slippers do not stink. My wife suggests therefore it may be something to do with the size?

 

[ED (The ORIGINAL and REAL one)]

My size 7's don't stink either -- Maybe it's only even sizes that do???

For god's sake, you two, blow your nose and smell again!

my size 8s do not stink even after work ,Maggie what is your husband washing his plates in ....piss?

 

[Ray Daywalker Clarke]

My size 9s dont smell, thats cos I have never worn them, I am a size 10.

Corky,

I use Quill's a lot for float making, touch of varnish at each end stops them from taking in water, which they will do after a while.

 

[slime monster]

Adding to Rays tip , i make my own wagglers ,i made some long ones by snipping the feather end to the point where it is about 2mm thick and remove the bottom endleaving a long float with a slow taper these cast like a dream and sit well whilst showing the dropping shot .....i do not paintthemi stain them with thin wood stain which the quill takes very well and fluro paint the tip,a swivel superglued carefully at the base completes the job.

A cocktail stick pushed into the top and you have an instant insert waggler /forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif
