How much do you want to spend?
What kind of ducks?
Do u want full body's or shells?

For widgeon
you have tanglefree & blue collar

For pintail
you have tanglefree blue collor & GHG

Mallards
everyone!!!!

Higdon are nice
Ghg paint sucks but can be had cheep
Avian X look good
Blue collor are nice a little spendy
Deception decoys are amazing, if cash was not a option that would be my pick

I have the tanglefree Pintail and really like them. No chips from last year but I keep them in single fabric bags for protection. I also have some b2 Bigfoot mallards and they are nice and big and they have good visibility in stubble.

The Cabelas Northern Flights are pretty nice for the price. They move really well in the wind too.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I've looked them over on-line and I think I'm leaning toward the  avian x.  I like the look & the positions and with a bag they are not that pricey.  I'm not sure of the stakes though or how much movement they will give.

Time for a field trip to Cabelas, I hope they have them in stock.

They stakes are nice and give good movement and you can position them if the wind changes direction on you
