Avian-X Power Shaker Mallard Hen Surface Feeder

The weight-forward design shifts the center of gravity, allowing the decoy to pivot and track more naturally in moving water. This creates a subtle, lifelike swimming motion that mimics a resting hen rather than just bobbing aimlessly.

While the decoy is oversized to increase visibility from a distance, it remains proportional to a real mallard. It works well in smaller waters, though you may want to space it further from other decoys to avoid crowding the spread.

Yes, the finish is specifically formulated to resist chipping and peeling, even when exposed to freezing temperatures or abrasive marsh vegetation. It is designed to maintain its matte, realistic appearance season after season.

The clip allows you to quickly attach your decoy line to the keel without tying knots. It is designed to let you adjust the decoy's position or depth in the water column easily, which is helpful when you need to create specific ripple patterns.

It is most effective in moving water or light wind, which activates the swim keel. In perfectly still, calm water, you will need to manually create movement by jerking your decoy line to get the desired ripple effect.
