Since we are talking about premium Millertech is king in my region. Nothing like pulling up to the factory for a consultation and seeing a horse and buggy line. But man they know their stuff.

Wow what a great response! You might be on to something with the 50aH for my use. The boat is primarily a row boat and if I get stuck I just have to put the effort in. They are on sale right now as well. I wonder if they will work in the cold. I have the $1000 smart battery for my fishing...

Thanks Eric. I’m pretty sure I learned that here. Since I do internal weighted keels it was a lot of screw holes in the bottom of the decoy by the time I got done. Since shifting to cork this year I find the balance point to be more predictable, and I noticed that the all wood decoys my...

I have a small trolling motor that I mount on my Ducker and want to get a small lightweight battery for it. I have a very expensive high quality 24 volt lithium battery in my fishing boat and it is great and lightweight. But I am wanting a small 12 volt for my ducker. It will get very little...

No every part of decoy making is my favorite. I really find making the weighted keels tedious and put it off as long as I can. The weighted keel serves several purposes. It helps the decoy track in line in rough water and keeps it from flipping over. It makes the decoy self right when...

I didn’t realize there were so many variations. What size and shape should I start with?

Looking forward to seeing them.

It will hunt. I’ll throw a keel on it and try again. I love the colors and head shape.

So unfortunately I can’t handle having a decoy I’m dissatisfied with. The back is too high. When I scaled it down I did not adjust the height of the body. Of course it would have worked fine but I decided to alter it with paint before I stripped it and reshaped it. My wife thinks I’m crazy...

Well it’s 95% done. Need to soften the lines a bit. I didn’t take the back down enough, but my wife suggested I add to the neck which made a pretty big difference. I am looking forward to another one. I’ll make the tail longer and back shorter.

Thanks. I was really pleasantly surprised how easy it was. I definitely used everyone’s advice here and then just went at it. Just can’t decide if it’s a hen or drake. What does everyone think? Maybe I’ll take a poll and let you all decide.
