@@ModernRefugee It is incredibly stupid and not worth anyone's time. With that said, as I was flipping through the channels that was on and they were hunting down Porcupine quills just like the ones shown in your vid. Just made me think of it. Coincidence in the timing was spot on though. Anyway, please keep up the great content and I love the old timer methods of doing things. This is the stuff and skills that will truly be needed in a long term situation. Needs to be remembered and documented before it is lost to time. Kind of like the Foxfire books.
I have a couple of those somewhere in my mess? But yes it's a thing for sure. I have migrated to steelhead and salmon fishing these days. But with the right company I can fish for anything.
Suggest an undercoat of white paint or tippex to make the float, (bobber) stand out. fluorescent paint is always better over an undercoat of preferably matt white paint
Thanks, Modern!
Great idea and video. Thanks MR.
I've seen it in books but never made one.
Thanks Modern

I used to make porcupine quill earrings but they sure weren't from Africa 😁
Thanks MR... I learned something new 😎😬
Superb idea, great project too.
Bet those could sell easily.
Nicely balanced and sensitive yeah.
👍👍👍
I had one for years as a child. My Dad used them and gave me one for show and tell in school…I loved that thing. Of course, it’s gone, but it is cool!
Very interesting, Modern Refugee. Thanks for sharing with us.
Pretty cool
pretty cool thx modern
Ives always preferred bobbers that stand up right like that. Very interesting process!
Thank you to MR's Father-in-Law!
Thanks for the share, Modern Refugee

Before I started steelhead fishing we used to slay the white bass on the bad river in the spring.
would a light sanding of the quill tip allow the nail polish to cling better?
It may. You can try it f you make one. Let me know how it works.
