Tipper/ Duck Butt

[Dtown]

Hey guys, I was looking for a pattern idea on a tipper or duck butt decoy pattern. Thank you

 

[Dave Diefenderfer]

I make them from my rejects! Though, I am casting foam. When I have a body that does not fill or has a void in the breast, I cut it off at an angle. Bore a hole deep and glue in a pvc pipe. Then restle coat and paint it up. I made feet from the neoprene of waders, painted orange (mallard) and screwed and glued them on the bottom to flop around when the decoy bobs. Took a little playing with strap weights to get the balance right. I have a pintail body that will be done next as it was first fill try of a new body mold.

Thank you! Those look great!

I don't make them very often, but this is my version of a keel less feeding decoy. the balance weight is sand inside the bottom couple of inches
below that glue line.

Dave,

I collect tip up decoys. I have over 400 of them. Would you have a mallard pair for sale?
