Best Spearing Decoy Money Can Buy!!!

Recommended Posts

Here is the decoys that I use. I have been using these for about 4 years. Have used there products for 10 years. I have used the homemade ones that I have had made, but nothing works better then these. Just my opinon

They are made by Bear Creek. All Bear Creek Spearing Decoys are hand assembled and painted for the highest quality

available today. They use there popular epoxy coating

as a finishing touch to insure that the paint will

remain intact for years of spearing pleasure. I perfer the red and white, and the goldfish color 10" inches in length. They swim like champs, and with a live decoy under it, connected with a DP-1 decoy pin, its tuff to beat. I suggest you try them. There great.

U got that right... I love these decoy also, this body style seem to get more fish into the hole, witch is a good thing. If u are looking or already are into spearing u need to use these decoys. I have used the red/white ones and also one in firetiger. i like useing different color to see if it will help make the fish react different!!!

I am with redbricks.

I like to use a red/white 6 or 8" wood decoy with the bendable "tin" fins. One can reall change the movement of the decoy. Nice sweeping motion to tight little circles even get them to almost do a flip like a dying minnow. I also have the same in perch, firetiger, black/yellow, pink/white, black/white and a couple others. Most of the time I also have a live sucker down using a "stickpin" and weight. This is off to the other side of the spear hole and above or below the decoy. The depth difference seems to make the pike think about things a little longer.

Sorry guys, but I'm not on board here.

The only decoys I use are handmade by myself, my dad, my grandpa, or earlier ancestors. Jr. has a couple we are working on, and we have used a few he has painted after I carved them out, weighted and finned them.

We don't use any live bait whatsoever - for me it kinda takes the charm out of spearing to stick a live minnow down the hole. If the decoy I'm using isn't enough, its time to change out decoys.

Unlike some of the "purists" in other sports, I surely don't look down my nose at those who choose to use a minnow, and I really don't care that some choose to use commercially made decoys.

Its just the satisfaction of seeing the slimer come in after the chunk of wood I spent a few hours hacking out of a cedar limb - doesn't make me right or wrong - just a little different.

What the heck, my wife considers me real different.....

I love homemade decoys too, but love the small northern perch-colored Bear Creek.

Great decoy if you don't have the time or effort to make your own.

My dad always made his own except for his one Bear Creek. Now, that is all he uses...but I am convincing him to make some more for this year!

i have tried using homemade ones before, but i always go back to my bear creek. I have had nothing but good luck with it, so in that case, i will always use bear creek untill otherwise. Its just a great all around decoy.

B n Spear - when you say a live sucker under your decoy - do you mean on the same line? Hooked to the decoy somehow? How far below the decoy?

I always use both - but on separate lines. Always willing to try something new.

Thanks.

Bass-n-Spear,

Where did you find the bear creek decoys with the reflective tape? I found some pianted ones at Fleet Farm, no prism tape tough. It did look like there was a small hole in some of them. Is that supposed to be there? Also what is a DP-1 pin?

Thanks, Huey

Ps I enjoyed your podcast.

    • RV Camping in National Parks: What You Need to Know   RV camping in national parks can be a great way to experience the beauty of nature and explore some of the most stunning landscapes in the world. Here are some things you need to know before RV camping in national parks:   Make Reservations: Most national parks require reservations for RV campsites, especially during peak season. Check the National Park Service website for availability and booking options.   Check RV Size Restrictions: National park campgrounds have size restrictions, so make sure your RV fits within the designated size limit. Check the park's website for information on size restrictions and available amenities.   Know the Rules: Every national park has different rules and regulations, so make sure to check the park's website or inquire at the visitor center about the rules and regulations before you arrive.   Pack for the Environment: Many national parks are fragile ecosystems, so it's important to pack in, pack out, and leave no trace. Make sure to bring eco-friendly products and dispose of your waste properly.   Be Bear Aware: Many national parks are home to bears and other wildlife, so it's important to be bear aware. Store your food in bear-resistant containers or bear lockers and never feed wildlife.   Respect Quiet Hours: Many national park campgrounds have designated quiet hours, so be sure to respect these hours and keep noise to a minimum during the night.   Plan for Limited Services: Some national park campgrounds have limited services, such as no electrical or water hookups. Be prepared to camp without these amenities and plan accordingly.   Know Your RV: Before heading to a national park, make sure to familiarize yourself with your RV's features and how to operate them. Practice setting up camp and operating your RV systems before you arrive.   Be prepared for the weather: Before you go RV camping, check the weather forecast for the area you'll be visiting. Bring appropriate clothing, gear, and supplies for the conditions you'll be facing.   Choose a suitable campsite: Look for a campsite that offers some protection from the elements, such as trees or a natural windbreak. Avoid campsites in low-lying areas where water can accumulate during heavy rain or snow.   Insulate your RV: Make sure your RV is well-insulated to keep the cold or heat out. You can add extra insulation to the walls, windows, and doors, and use draft stoppers to keep cold air from entering.   Use a portable hand warmer: If your RV doesn't have a built-in heating or cooling system, consider using a rechargeable hand warmer. Rechargeable hand warmers, such as the Ocoopa Union 2s, with four heat settings, they can be adjusted to suit changing temperatures. They also have a long battery life of over 8 hours on low, making them ideal for longer winter outdoor activities.    Keep your RV well-ventilated: Even in extreme weather conditions, it's important to keep your RV well-ventilated to prevent condensation and mold. Use a dehumidifier or open windows and vents to let in fresh air.   Use a weather radio: In case of severe weather, it's important to stay informed. A weather radio can provide you with up-to-date information about any weather warnings or alerts in your area.   Keep emergency supplies on hand: Be prepared for power outages or other emergencies by keeping emergency supplies on hand, such as extra food, water, batteries, and a first aid kit.   Know when to stay put: If you're facing extreme weather conditions, it's important to know when to stay put and wait it out. Don't try to drive in hazardous conditions, and avoid going outside if there's a risk of lightning or other dangerous weather.
