FUDs - Any good?


Recommended Posts

I posted this before, but I modified mine... Might sound daft to cut bits off, but it saves on weight and makes them much better IMO.

do they face head into wind when modified,cheers.

 

I went through the same thing and have managed to get my kit down to a total of just under 10kg. That includes

100l rucksack

Two nets

Bucket seat

Twelve FUDs

Turbo flapper

Battery for flapper

Timer for magnet

Remote for flapper

60 cartridges

Net clips and pegs

Multi tool

 

I changed to FUDs after using flocked shells and I haven't seen a difference in birds not liking them. I've had birds landing next to them many times. I didn't like the pegs they come with so I cut those off. This has saved weight and I can sit them as high as I want depending on crop. They also turn into the wind and bob about with the pegs I made for them. More than happy to put a post up showing a very simple peg that works.

 

So thumbs up from me to the FUDs and since they have come down to £19,99 per box I think I'm going to get some more.

Show us how you made your pegs please i might do mine,Cheers.

all i use is shell decoys,i use 23 of them and they seem to work ok,i have sillo sock decoys but dont use them now,use what you wont if the pigeons wont to come in ,they will no matter what you use.

 

Why did you stop using them? Do you think you need the 3d heads for the sillosocks?

Have been looking at FUDs and Sillosocks and think I'm going to get some FUD's, I like the idea of the sillosocks but not sure about the silhouette heads. Are you planning on selling the sillosocks?

Really can't remember, mate. I don't think the birds coming in take too much notice to be honest, either way.

I keep meaning to put my modification onto the site but never get round to doing it!

It's a simple mod, takes minutes to do and yes they face into the wind.

Fuds are brilliant they do not need movement they work on 3 d photo realisim i have been using them for 2 years now and they never fail to properply decoy birds in of course the best decoys are shot real birds :good: i tried the crow fuds did not decoy much with them i think they are not black enough full bodied flock coated work best :good: in winter time when things are tuff over rape these things work, also what people also for get is that for every 4 fuds you put out you need two in the sentry postion :good:
