I'm trying to fill out a layout spread. I'm looking for American made decoys only. My trusty G&H divers bob too much in open water and my homemade foamers won't stand up to the wear and tear of gang rigging. Would love to find someone finishing E. Allens or making their own that won't break the bank. Heavy, self righting, must be 100% American made.
Looking for Canvasbacks and Bluebills, ready for this season. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
 
Nelson, Because Of Health Reasons I am forced to give up the Rigors of the Duck Hunting sport. After 60yrs.of this fine an enjoyable sport. I have 1st been selling of my accumulation of over 300 decoys I have made over all these yrs Plus,numerous ones I have purchased. All my E/Allen decoys To vast an array to mention, Have been sold to local freinds that I have Hunted with for many YRS. I still have many various Plastic ones left,Mfg. Avery,bought from Cabelas, Broadbills Cans, Puddle ducks.etc.They would be to expensive to ship so I havent advertise on the web or newspaper strictly through word of mouth.I live in Shrewsbury N.J.Feel free to give me a call 732-747-5089 or e/mail me at duckguy723@yahoo.com. I will be Glad to explain what I have left, they all come with 6&12 compartment decoys bags & are in excellent condition. You may have a friend up this way that can picked them up here Thank you Paul
 
Patrick, I may give Mr. Gagnon a call.
Paul, I will be in touch shortly..Thanks
Phil, My foam divers date back to 1979 when my father and his friends were experimenting with expanding Styrofoam beads in Decoys Unlimited molds. They hadn't mastered setting up the molds, so the decoys would form the hard outer shell at that point.
Steve, I have a set of Homers headed my way from Lake Effect...at least I think those are the bodies he uses.
Thanks to all for your assistance. Please keep the suggestions coming.

If you take the sand out of the G&H keels and replace it with lead shot, they ride a lot better.
 
My experience with G&H is that they have always been self righting. I have gadwalls, cans & redheads, hunt them on some pretty rough open water from time to time.

I've only hunted mine in protected waters, perhaps that is why they won't right themselves. Either way, the three dozen I already have will get pressed into service.
 
If you still have your molds... Use 2 part ureathane foam in them

The originals were lost in a fire. Not sure if replacements were found. I did not know the urethane could be poured in the old molds. I'll have to look for them. Thanks
