mikee Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 i bought one on ebay a few weeks ago and then made a couple myself, they are fantastic, ive used them a couple of times now and they attract bird very well, cant say they are better than a magnet as claimed but used with a magnet add more movement to the pattern, i wouldn't go out without them now. mikee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenhunter Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 They work well. Especially in standing corn! I've made my own(see avatar) Thats a lander but floaters are fairly easy to make. Sourcing the materials is the difficult bit and the wings sets can be dear, I got mine off Chris Green, they're better than the ones on fleabay!! Last time I made one it cost me about £14 and less than two hours to make it. Better than £41 + P&P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Has anyone tried these flappers, they look ok. Seen them on ebay, but not in any shops.http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HlJx0nek3xw they aint "flappers" they are a variation of the bouncers chris green sells ( think he may have packed them in?) anyway the movement is caused by the wind so if it aint windy they dont move!!! oh and he sells or did sell the wing and tail kits for £8.00 if you want to make your own cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamish Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 If someone could post some clearer photo's, I might have a go at making one. The video is not all that clear, but I think shouldn't be to hard. I don't fancy paying £40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 that address rings a bell, sure he was or is a member on here. Mark he is just round the corner from me mag 357 (John) got one from him on E-Bay just a copy of Chris Greens but not as good they will bob up and down in the wind but if the wind changes direction they don't move..

I did and you can work out how he does it if you've got a bit of imagination If you need any help, ask its not a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mag357 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I bought one from the guy who makes them in Teesside. Went to pick it up myself as I live local and cost me £40, well made and similar to Chris Green's Floaters except that floater rod is spring steel and not fibreglass. Very realistic and not yet tried it, if thet are as good as his they will be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
