If the decoy is more than a year old, you'll first need to identify the source of the leak to determine next steps. Apply soapy water to the decoy and look for air bubbles signaling a leak. If the leakage is at the air valve/stem, we can send you a new one. Please reach out via the Contact Us form to process a request.

If the leak is elsewhere, there are a few other things you can try. Turn the decoy upside down and remove or open the air valve/stem. Try running a rim of super glue around the bottom ring/seam at the stake pocket area. Then drop about 10 drops of super glue into the stake pocket itself and roll the decoy around for the glue to fill any small holes. You can also use a product called 'Shoe GOO®' to repair visible holes in the dura-rubber. Be sure to allow any glue to dry completely before re-inflating your decoy.

Simply blow into the provided air valve/stem to inflate an LCD decoy. Push the valve stem up inside of the decoy to seal the air from leaking back out. There is no cap needed with the valve stem. Keep in mind, over inflation may cause problems. It's best to under inflate the decoy so it has room to expand in the sun/heat. Do not use an air compressor or a bike pump to fill your LCD decoy as this can cause damage or over inflation.

Scouting is one of the most important aspects when hunting waterfowl. When you find the birds, watch where they are landing and feeding in that field. The birds will tell you where you need to set up typically right on the food source. This area is what we call the "X" and is the best spot to hunt waterfowl. For additional assistance, please call 877-269-8490 to speak with an experienced decoy specialist.

There are a few things to keep in mind when rigging decoys. The first is water depths. Always make sure you have plenty of decoy line for the depth of water you are hunting. Current and wind speed are other important factors. Make you have enough weight at the end of your decoy line so your decoys don't float away in strong current or high winds. If you're looking for more help, call us at 877-269-8490. An experienced hunter will be happy to walk you through additional decoy rigging techniques.

We can't stress the important of scouting when hunting waterfowl enough. Look at the different duck species that come through your area during migration. Choose your decoys according to the ducks that work through your area.

Both decoys are very effective in the field, but if you are looking for the most realistic decoy on the market our flocked decoys are the way to go.

Try to place the decoy in a spot where it can be seen from every direction you think a gobbler might see it from a distance of 15-20 yards. For additional assistance, please call 877-269-8490 to speak with an experienced decoy specialist.

The quarter strut jake paired with an upright breeder hen has been a proven deadly combo for our staff members for many years, but all our hens can pair successfully with a jake or tom decoy to bring out the jealousy in a boss gobbler. Choose the right combination that works for you!
