Man, I haven’t posted in a while but I’m as giddy as a kid on Christmas morning! Just cruised Facebook and saw a few bags of decoys with herters on top. $30. Messages the guy , said he just posted and got 20-39 messages. Someone was gonna come tomorrow for $40, I said give me 20-30 minutes and I would be there. Got 3 dozen original condition herters, enough carrylite clips and some 100’ packs of carry lite line (with original package at $1.25 a pack ) for $40.

Also a print off of herters models dated 1967. Idk if that’s actually real.
Anyway, I’m happy as a clam. Although they’re almost to nice to hunt.

Tony,
That is awesome. They are the older ones I believe because they don't have the exposed keel weight encapsulated in the foam. I could be wrong though. Do they self right?

Rod, I honestly haven’t pulled them out of the truck yet. Ended up going back to work, working till 6 am ( work for the utility company) then came home, drove son to school and napped. Definitely checking to see today. We hunt big water and it could be a bunch of trouble fixing flipped birds the whole time.

Sounds like a big problem....but I'm a giver so I'd give you your $40 investment back to get out of them, LOL.

I actually just got 4 brand new never his the water Herter's bluebills in deal. Really don't have a use for them and thought about listing them on here but shipping to the east coast probably isn't worth it.
 
Well Rod/Kevin they do self right. After catching up on sleep I went to try and catch some pike and small mouth and tossed one in a few times and they flipped over. They seem to mostly be the pinkish foam variety. Idk where that dates them, but I will say they’re in better shape than majority of my divers , sans some plastic ones that will go up for sale now. They don’t seem to like the cold🥶.

It rained here this morning so they all got good rinse and they’ll get out up in the attic later tonight till August/September.
