Cranfield Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Any that have a decent movement to them. The only ones I don't like are the zig zag types usually sold on eBay, when the wind blows the shells fly off them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lez325 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 the one's that come with them Yep- I'd agree with that- failing - make your own from springs and dowel Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignoel Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 i use the tinny type when placed correctly they give loads of movement in slight breeze without flopping or leening to one side . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

top shot Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 the best thing is the proper plastic ones you get with them and for high cros its best to use bamboo sticks does the trick gets them high and doesnt break Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roly Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Make your own from steel pallet banding and attach to suitable sized green cane sticks, bamboo or lengths of 6mm dowell. Cut the banding lengthways so you have strips of approx 6mm wide bend into Z shape and attach to sticks by cutting the ends, inserting the banding approx 3cms and secure with insulating tape. Dependant on the shells you have. (Mine have two slits in the top) you just thread the top of the Z shape banding through the two slits to secure to the shell. If you only have one slit make another with a sharp knife or wood chisel whilst resting on a block of wood. Cheap as chips and gives the back and forth motion in the wind and also the side to side wobble like the decoy is walking and pecking. Works for me Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
