Higdon Outdoors Mallard Decoys

Yes, they are foam-filled, which makes them virtually unsinkable. Even if the plastic shell is punctured by stray pellets, the foam core prevents the decoy from taking on water and sinking.

The proprietary UV-paint is designed to minimize unnatural glare, which is crucial on sunny days when standard glossy paint can spook birds. It helps the decoys maintain a matte, realistic appearance regardless of whether they are wet or dry.

While the flocked heads provide a realistic look, they are more delicate than the plastic body. To keep them in good condition, avoid scrubbing them aggressively and store them in the included slotted bag to prevent rubbing or matting during transport.

Absolutely. The weighted keel is designed for quick setup and provides enough stability to keep the decoys upright in shallow water without requiring deep-water anchoring.

The set includes a variety of postures—Upright, Low Head, Feeder, and Skimmer—to create a natural, active look in your spread. This mix helps simulate a realistic feeding flock rather than a static group.
