Home-made motion decoy DIY

Duck butt decoys are seldom used, so I thought I'd try to create new purpose for one. Amazon - weasel ball, tail removed and a single AA battery, about an hours time, and now I have a motion decoy on the water. This is what a duck but is supposed to do anyway, as a duck feeds below, there has to be motion. Tell me what do you think?

That’s pretty cool good idea 💡

@ashleybishop347 4 года назад

Try using a rubber bottom inside the decoy. It will give the ball more to grab to and maybe reduce the plastic on plastic spinging.

Drexel rotary tool with TWO Cutting Discs cuts a SMOOTHE line right through decoy plastic bodies.

using this method to bring back motion quiver butts that are rusted out works great

@redroofretriever 4 года назад

Yes it does, and cheap.

Thanks for your video. I had thought of trying the same idea with a cheap floating decoy head up, maybe your diver is a better idea! . But i was thinking of of how to close up hole temporarily to put in weasel and take out weasel , now i have an idea from your video. Thank you!

How much noise does this make? I would think that noise might be a problem in a decoy.

@redroofretriever 7 лет назад

Originally it did make noise. I lined the inside walls with a foam stickyback 2" wide tape, and now it is almost silent. The inside bottom i glued in a sandpaper disk, for traction, and can faintly here a skid sound once in a while, but I have to be close to it. I am happy with this now.

redroofretriever That must be why the other guy I watched do this said he used a sock.. I didn't think about why until I read this comment.

@Bwanar1 5 лет назад

I'd wager that when the ducks got close enough for the noise to be an issue, it would be too late for them! ;-)

Next time put the keel in a vise and use a hacksaw with a wood blade. Cuts through that decoy in about 10 seconds. That's how I take off the keels on decoys that leak to make them into field/ice decoys.

@PKAdventures 3 года назад

looks pretty good, how did it do?

@redroofretriever 3 года назад

I used it several times. The weakness is the batteries only ran an hour or so. Action was good on flat water like a pond, this made good ripples on the water and moved enough to fool birds.

@PKAdventures 3 года назад

@@redroofretriever did you consider building a small battery bank? You could pretty easily rig up something relitively small with lithium batteries, or even an old cellphone battery. It wouldn't take too much work to setup, and it would still be cheap, and you could waterproof it relitively easily

@redroofretriever 3 года назад

@@PKAdventures What you see is all I did to this. You are correct, it could be expanded and improved. I just dont have the time anymore. Thanks for watching and input.

What brand is that decoy?

@redroofretriever 8 месяцев назад

I have no idea. It was a cheap 6 pk, a long time ago

@22veteranflyfishing 4 года назад

did it work when hunting

@redroofretriever 4 года назад

Yes it did. The down side is the batteries die fast when it's real cold.

@22veteranflyfishing 4 года назад

@@redroofretriever hmmm that is badass I'm starting to think of what well can be made for hunting

@adambowers3914 7 лет назад

fill that bottom keel up with sand as much as you can pack into it hot glue gun both ends to keep the sand in

@redroofretriever 7 лет назад

That is a good idea. Thanks.

@darrelschlueter8802 Год назад

Sure is allot of work to do just to GWT motion in your spread....its too easy to buy this product it isn't that expensive....

@redroofretriever Год назад

You're not wrong, but who uses these duck butts otherwise? I had several to experiment with. It worked.

@teamnorthfowl1927 7 лет назад

I had something Like that but one truck weight on the bottom holds it up right but alowes more movement since it's less weight to move but mine is on the bottom of Herion marsh lol my buddy and I were out and had a wood duck hen I said to wait till she clears the decoys but 4 shot took the decoy and the duck down with it

@redroofretriever 7 лет назад

What did you use to put motion into it? I might remove 1 weight and see if it gives more motion. easy to do.
