Product Overview
In October a drake mallard does not look like the picture on the box. He is still in eclipse, patchy and drab, and a spread full of glossy green heads reads as wrong to birds that have not seen a full plumage drake yet. This pack captures early plumage on both drakes and hens, so your spread matches the calendar.
Why it earns a spot
- Perfect replication of early season mallards
- Weight-forward swim keel for realistic movement
- Unmatched coloration and detail
- Rugged durability
- No-flake paint for lasting finish
- 5 true-to-life postures: Swimmer Drakes (2); Feeder Rake; Feeder hen; Swimmer Hen; High-Head Drake
