Ttfjlc Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Evening All, as usual trying to find out what my dad wants for Christmas has been like getting blood from a stone but alas he has finally said some pinkfoot decoys. Not the best time of year it seems to be looking as the main ones that seem to crop up are FUD decoys and not many others, does anyone have much experience with these or are there any others you could recommend? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchy trigger Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 don't know if it helps, when I have been out decoying for pinks (pay for) they always seem to use full bodied decoys, even if they have to make two trips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6.5x55SE Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 In my humble opinion J fud decoy's are to small to heavy and far to expensive. Personally I'd do as i did buy Juvenile Blue Phase Snow Geese sillosocks from Canada even with delivery far cheaper than those sold in the UK having said that in 3 year's I've only used them twice at a local River where the Widgeon poured into them along with a few Greylag and Canada's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penelope Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 You can't deny that they look as close to the real thing as it gets in plastic. Yes, I know not really necessary, and bits of paper with a clod of mud can supposedly do the trick, but they can't hurt either. Certainly, not the cheapest but will last a lifetime and make a nice Christmas pressie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaunda Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Penelope I note the luckyhunter website advertises the deoys as ' Pinkfook '. Am I missing something ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Penelope for the help, but at £38 a piece I don't love my dad that much, besides my mum would rightly say, "more **** in the garage" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatsanmad Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Personally I prefer the windsock decoys from mike slater at river side outdoors they look good add decent movement when theres a breeze there light weight easy to carry 20+ of them and there cheap aswell and most importantly they work very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
