stubby Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 shell type stack in side each other, therefore take up less space when carrying, I use 12 shells on wobbler sticks, magnet and bouncers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 If money allows, go for the Sillosocks, they're are a great decoy, weigh next to nothing and take up very little room in the kit bag. Look at our sponsors site, I think they are £4.75 each but worth every penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Sillosocks or shells every time, plus a couple of floaters and bouncers. A couple of full bodied decoys are necessary for lofting, but 10-30 of them are a real nuisance to lump about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiteman0 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 looks like i will be buying some shells, thanks for the info i pressume the bouncers and floaters are the shells on springy sticks so they move about in the wind.

Spaniel Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Wobblers are for the shells which give the decoy shell some movement Bouncers are 4 to 8ft sticks which you can attach a full shell with wings decoy or a dead bird to Flapper is a little mechanical device which you stick a dead bird on which makes it into a flapping action Have a look around EB** and the sponsors site all various prices etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 i pressume the bouncers and floaters are the shells on springy sticks so they move about in the wind. Nope, a bouncer looks like this and you fit a dead bird on it. A floater looks like this. Both are stuck in the ground and move with the breeze/wind, very effective.

Spaniel Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Well done I couldnt find my pics.... The sponsor is doing buy 2 Bouncers at £15 each and get a 3rd FREE, which seems good to me to be honest, works out £10 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
