I have a few more decoys to post but here's a video of the swim test of the new 11" model I'm working on for next season this ones going to a client in northern Michigan for ski spearing.

I really thing the new 11" wood tail is going to be a winner for next season! it looks huge next to the 8" basic workers, lol!

[Neighbor_guy]

That is a beast of a decoy

[Neighbor_guy]

Had a bout of bad luck in my last batch. All my wood tails were failures, still trying to figure that out.

Here is the best of the batch. "Whitefish" the sparkle doesn't show up in pictures, trust me it shines. Just over 11" nose to tail.

I also started toying with phosphorescent but can't get it to show up on camera.

That will be an awesome Third River decoy.

What happened to the tails?

[minky]

Great decoys everyone!

[Neighbor_guy]

What happened to the tails?

They were a lot more buoyant than I anticipated.

I didn't torch em, just set them aside, so I may take a closer look to see if I can make them work.

[Dorkfish]

Well set them to the side till we get together and we'll investigate

How or should I say why, does this decoy seem to have a wicked smile???
