Cabelas "Hardcore" goose floaters

[troutkingmaster]

With a name like Hardcore, they must be good. In all seriousness though, has anyone had a chance to get their hands on these? Any first impressions regarding paint/flocking durability? They are new so I understand no one will have actual durability reports, just looking for peoples first impression. They are pretty inexpensive at 89.99 for basically a GHG Harvester pack.

Are you referring to the Primos Hardcore decoys? I have heard they had issues a few years ago with some of the full bodies fading, but the new line should be fixed.

I plan on picking a dozen mallard goose floaters up from them (Cabelas) this weekend, they look sweet and are priced right.

i have 40 hardcore field decoys but they were the old style and i LOVE them. Looked at those floaters and field decoys and they look like complete garbage. I wouldnt use them to train dogs with, let alone hunt over. As far as floaters go, id go with the big foot ones. They seem to take the most abuse that water hunting does. I have the older GHG floaters and they look great but they are getting really beat up and paint it chipping.
