bazzab Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Hi all. I've just purchased me first magnet. And don't have a clue on what decoys to put on it. Due to various reasons i don't really have any way of freezing dead ones. So any tips on what people find work on em? Many thanks in advance.

fenboy Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 You really need dead birds , all the alternatives have draw backs , spinning wings ones are noisy and do not work well, hypaflaps work ok but are useless if there is much of a wind etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Hyperflaps are excellent. You can add your own stiffer rods to cope in stronger winds if you wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hyperflaps are excellent. You can add your own stiffer rods to cope in stronger winds if you wanted. Indeed, either stiffer rods or double up the suppied rods! Ah ******!!!!! It might have to wot till i knock sole down each like then. ******. ?

Cosd Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 ****** i.think i missed em. Thank you Cosd ill check them babies out. Evil bay here i come!!!! The UK Shootwarehouse has a special on the Hyperflaps at £39, you can take 5% discount on those too as a PW member and they are well worth the investment. I rarely go out without them. Sometimes I put them on to start with and if I see they are not being as effective as I like I switch to real birds, but often they stay on all day which means the battery on the Magnet lasts a lot longer. I also use a single one on the magnet on occasions if the birds are a bit skittish, but you have to leave both arms on for balance.

Cranfield Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I always start with Hypaflaps on the rotary and can't remember when I last changed over to fresh shot dead birds. I think the wing movement (which you don't get with dead birds) is the main attraction. They also work well on floaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 save your money and look around for an small chest freezer you cant beat dead birds He wouldn't be wasting his money, Hyperflaps work very well and are a good alternative to real birds if you don't have any stored.

whitey10765666 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Ive used different decoys has an experiment but using real wings, and Ive had good success in doing so, i spray the wings with Loreal hair spray,, cos their worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyo Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) If you use real birds cut out the crop,guts & de breast, makes em lighter for the rotary & wont put a strain in the battery & if you take a little stove pan & oil, there's you lunch sorted.
