Decoy's

[dan z]

this will be a genreal topic on who likes what and who hates what.

I will start of by saying that the best decoys I have purchased are bigfoot floater goose decoys, there light big and keep there paint very well. The only reason there on top of the oversized GHG is becuase of weight. those GHG's are tanks

Now for the best duck decoys I think G&H takes the cake. there tough, realistic and pretty light, the only bad thing about them is there getting tougher to come by unless you order them online, everyone is going to ghg.

GHG on the other hand are great looking and the prices are about average for the times. I just bought some prograde actives this year and I hope they look as good in a couple seasons as they do now. becuase the G&H I bought in high school still look great.

Herters are very nice decoys also but, as everyone knows everything great has to end sometime, I have some style 62 foamers and I have used them to change a tire without crushing them (super durable). I just wish they werent so expensive on the bidding site.

Is there anyone out there that uses Plasti-duk's(Nuemanns/Bennets).

A old friend of mine had some and they looked great in the water and they were super easy to body wrap.

I'm sure there are more things about decoys but just trying to get a few things out there for the new guys

i always just bought the cheapest dekes available for my diver spread since they dont seem to be too picky. i spent a little more on the dozen mallards, i believe they're ghg but i'm not sure. seem to work just fine

I bought a dozen herters foam dekes a few years ago (just over $100) and far and away the best dekes I've ever owned, take it for what its worth, I've only owned flambeau, Greenhead Gear, and a few others that didnt last, but sure am glad I bought the herters when I did. Best thing about them you use them till theyre darn near beat, then burlap and repaint and they're even tougher than before. They can take a few stray bb's as well. But dont tell my hunting buddies that.

I'll echo the Herters comments. My dad had a couple dozen mags (7s's) of which 14 survived. They spent years sitting out in the sun, so the paint was pretty much gone on the bodies.

I just could not see letting them stay this way, so I took all the heads off, and burlaped them. I gave them all a quick paint job with fleet farm rattle can flat paint, and they are now on long lines.

I love my old foamers!
