rapid .25 Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hi all, I was given a few of these decoys and must admit I have never seen them before and have no idea of there specific use, they are made of a very good quality rubber but are quite heavy at 338g each, if they are an old design then the paintwork has kept very well, they have a large moulded whole on the underside with a type of rubber arm inside with a small hole drilled in it, I have no idea what type of peg would be used on these or perhaps they are a type of lofting decoy??, I look forward to reading what all of you think ( or know) about these. atb Ian.

JDog Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 They are ‘Flexicoys’. If you read my post entitled ‘A few on a line’ from two days ago you will see some pictured. They can be hung in a tree as mine were or placed on a wooden peg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks jdog, I was away for the weekend so I've just read your post, do you think the ones I've been given would benefit from a bit less green on there heads?, Cheers Ian.

I still have a couple of those and used the old fishing line and weight trick to hoist them up into a tree. The incoming pigeons didn't seem to notice that the decoy was perched 'under' the branch. I've even seen one recently perched on a stag coat rack !!! OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
