Hi All.
Thought I'd share my car boot finds with you, spent less than a fiver.
the whipped quills are signed by Wilson?? I think. Does anyone know of this maker?
The keepnet is made from sisal? with split cane hoops its only about 2 feet long
so seems very small, but is too well made not to be for use, bait fish perhaps?
any ideas anyone? And good hunting out there!!
Cheers. Moss Creeper

That's actually Wotton. There's a seller on eBay that must make them. Just search wotton floats and there's many styles.

Very nice finds, those old keep nets look good hanging in a corner of the room. I have a few nets that I hang old lures from as decoration.

What a bargain but I hope you knocked them down a bit
, don't you just love boot fairs, so much for so little.... apart from the time you put in of course.

I have met the maker of the Wotton floats. I used to be a member of the Wotton Underwood syndicate and one of the members collects quills from the lakeside and makes these floats.
