Heyday – HydroFoam Diver Decoys

The brand-new, light-as-a-feather, last-forever HydroFoam diver decoys from Heyday (formerly Lifetime Decoys) are a complete game changer.

The symmetrical, self-righting dual keel design equates to maximum stability on the water, but unlike single keel decoys, these bulletproof blocks instantly double as full-body decoys to easily deploy in the field, on ice, or a riverbank.

MOJO Outdoors – Elite Series Floater Bluebill

Every duck hunter knows that motion matters. And lucky for you diver chasers, most days on the big water bring some wave and wind action, but when the weather is calm, it’s time to let the MOJO run! Unlike the shallow water spinning wing decoys you may be used to, this remote-controlled, battery-operated, deep-water-ready floater rides the waves without a support pole to stuff into the mud. With its patented watertight design, all components are housed in the decoy for a smoother, quieter, and more user-friendly operation. A stabilizing bar keeps the decoy in place even in rough water and an eyelet on the float is main-line-ready to integrate right into your diver decoy deployment. (Also available in a redhead decoy).
