Title: Which decoy?
Post by: Trevor2 on February 05, 2012, 04:36:32 PM
Which half strut decoy would y'all reccomend? All my other dekes are foam and I really like and prefer those, but haven't seen a half strut in the foam.

If you are specifically looking for a foam, half-strut, jake decoy, look for a Featherflex Bubba Half-strut Jake decoy.

This was the first semi-strut decoy I used. I loved it- very mobile and fooled many gobblers before he was retired!

Carry-Lite makes a great semi-strut jake. However, this decoy is not very mobile as it doesn't pack very well.

Cherokee Sports has a blow-up semi-strut decoy that is very realistic. The only issue I have with it is the body tends to have a glare from the sun. If you can find one on sale at Walmart, but it and use the head on another decoy.

Zinks has a new one out this year. It looks very realistic, but I'm not sure how much it weighs. Their hen decoys from last year were a little on the heavy side.

You wont find one that looks much better than the zinks but it is a little heavy.  Still I believe it is worth the weight to have one that looks right.
