mrklean Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I was looking at decoys yesterday and saw wood and plastic decoys, which is the better to use, i see far more wood then plastic but not sure which is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat-man Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I like the plastic ones that fill with water,they seem to glide though the water rather than dart like the wooden ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassNspear Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 im with cat,I have been a huge fan of Bear Creek Decoys. There a plastic decoy that ih ave had very awesome luck with. I dont carve at all, so wood ones are just not my style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinnerPail Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I also like the plastic ones that fill with water. They glide real nice and you can adjust the fins if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovetheice Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 how long does it take to make one? what type of wood do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunt&fish89 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 how long it each decoy will take all depends on how particular you are on how you want it to look. The wood that i like to use for carving decoys is pine because it is a soft wood and it is easy to sand and work with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wood that i like to use for carving decoys is pine because it is a soft wood and it is easy to sand and work with I agree, it all depends on how detailed you want to get. Anywhere from an hour to over ten hours for me. I have been using basswood for the last five or six that I have carved. Before that I used cedar, pine, maple and even cherry.
