What brand of decoys everyone uses
« on: June 05, 2008, 02:35:20 PM »
I use the greenhead gear. Good for the price and have pretty good detail. Have some in full body and others in the standard (smaller than full bodies). Same with my candian shells greenhead gear.
Hunting and Fishing is not what I do. But who I am...

I made the mistake of buying elcheapo's at Wallyworld. Avery? Whatever the heck they are, they hold their paint pretty well until you get them wet.... Good thing I only have four dozen in various breeds or wouldn't I look and feel stupid.  :'(

I've had good luck w/ G&H they seem to be tough.  The older Flambeau are decent for the money.  I think Carrylites are absolute  :crap:

My preference is solid cork when hunting out of a boat but they are pricey.  My favorite all around decoy is the old Plastiduk decoys.  They are made of hard rubber and are inflatable. Really tough and look natural on the water.... colors aren't so great though.

Hmm a little of everything...but a LOT of G&H!

For divers I run G&H bluebills, ringers, redheads, and cans in a mix of standards and supermags.  I also run 6 GHG buffies and a few GHG GEs.

For puddlers it's all GHG:  Oversized mallards, gaddies, widgeon, and teal.

All my goose decoys are GHG fullbodies.
