Good morning, Mike~


Last Summer, another duckboats.net member approached me about a similar project - converting low value non-Eider stool to make an Eider rig. My advice was to "do it once, do it right" - and have an Eider rig that would be a pleasure to gun over - then could someday be sold if needed. So, he bought some Homer Eiders - with the s/s hardware. I coated them and painted them. They are a nice big decoy. Homer has both Eider heads and Scoter heads to work with their Super Magnum bodies. (Pay no attention to the puddlers in the foreground.....)







Here is my Eider painting approach:

And the Homer Super Magnums:

All the best,
