My "Grey" duck... :up:

Trying to make a quiver like Grey. Thanks for the idea man. I had some quiver pucks so Im trying with them.. We'll see how they work soon enough!

too late now, but in the future leave the piece you cut out attached (don't cut a complete circle) to make a lid that you can open and close. put a screw through a tab on the other end to make a latch.

Somebody must have been bored this weekend...I coulda used a hand throwin these damn axles around in the garage Garrett!!

hahaha mike. actually i worked all weekend, still here. i just brought my toys to work to finish em up... sprayed a couple more today, may cut on em tomorrow during my 12hr shift...

My "lids" stay on perfectly even though they are cut all the way around in a square shape. Also, my dekes would not bend far enough to get the weasel ball inside, I guess the plastic is more rigid.... and cheap.

Weasel Balls are currently on sale at the Cracker Barrel for 2/$12

ill figure out how to keep the lids on later. i just finished cutting on two more. i made one out of a duck butt. OH YEAAAAAH!!! gonna have a pair of mallards and one duck butt, should have plenty of ripple....

Nice but I still like the pull string.

Well I will be heading there after work! Thanks for the tip...

the wife works at cracker barrel. she said the motors in them burn out real quick and they have a tendency to get super hot really fast

They have more movement than those shakers, I did the same thing and threw it away after last season, they just dont make enough waves.

The first Weazel Ball I used in my 1st deke was the one I bought for my older son when he turned 2. He loved it and played with it a lot when he was younger. He turned 9 last summer. Not sure what "burn up really fast" means to you, but anything that costs $8 and lasts the better part of a decade I am ok with. Not to mention that I leave the Weazel Balls running for hours and they are barely warmer than the ambient temp. Let me mention again.... it cost $8 and works great! We have had ducks light almost on top of them.

Most of the time when I plan to use them I am hoping it is pretty cold out. Besides, what is the worst they could do, catch the deke on fire? Oh well, there goes $6 and a crummy deke!

My thoughts exactly.... plus a deke on fire has to be entertaining!

that might be very entertaining if the ducks aren't flying

Burning deke

I would thihk it would be more entertaining if the birds were still lighting into the spread.

A flaming decoy? Would have to be careful you don't pull in too many gay ducks. What is the limit on those this year?

In the interests of keeping my THF membership I'll refrain from any flaming comments...

man, what the hell have y'all done to my thread???


jk. funny stuff

My wife just got a Holloween decoration that is a skull with bones dangling off it that shakes like crazy. It will have to be sacrificed I think. I still need to go get some weazels

Don't ask....don't tell!

Have you finished it yet?

Tested it?

I just finished two the other night, they work but not as much wobble as I expected. I was thinking maybe making more room inside so that they can actually roll around and hit the sides. Or maybe using Bumble Balls bc they are a lil bigger, but I don't know if they would fit inside a decoy.

Did you put it in water?

Yeah I put it on the ol' hot tub. I'm not complaining, it works fine, I was just expecting a lil more wobble for some reason. The video I saw looked like more than mine. I'll still be using them come Saturday that's for sure.

Maybe a bunk weasel ball? I know on the very calm days mine was rippling well beyond 30 yards.

You did take the plastic out of the ball and place the ball with the "empty" half down? Just making sure.

Possibly, maybe when i get it on the open water it will look better. Nice sig by the way.

Yeah, and i've tried turning it every which way to see what wobildy wobbles more.
