hot buy mallards are cheap and actually last pretty well IMO. I have 4 yr old ones that still look good, though I find myself using my Drake decoys without keels for long hikes to the swamp

GHG decoys are a good product. Price is average. That is all I have used the last 7 yrs. Divers, Geese, Puddlers. I used FFD geese. I have over 200 duck decoys And 24 FFD and they all are GHG. Money well spend.
Good Luck

G & H all the way for mallards. I never had any luck with paint staying on any of the GHG stuff I bought. Some buddies of mine have G & H's that 10 + years old and still look good.

Personally I think GHG look better, but there is no doubt they are lower quality decoys than the G&H decoys. GHG is made in China, G&H is made in Oklahoma, so I think that explains why. I have hunted over both. If you are on a budget buy the cheaper GHG decoys. If you can afford $100/DOZEN, buy the G&H. I have killed ducks over both, so I don't know that they have a preference.

Herters Armoried Decoys are the best I have ever used. These are the first with the duck photo finish. You can shot them and they want sink or tilt. I don't know if they still make them. They ride high in the water and look like real ducks on the water. The last I bought were from Cabela's. They are up medium priced but they are worth it. I bought my son in law a dozen and want to give him another dozen for Christmas this year but I can't find them in the Cabela's book.

Back when I used plastics G&H were all I hunted over. Have some that have 12 or 13 hard seasons on them and paint is still in great shape. If I went back to plastic that's what I would get.
