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
Larry

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.

Never used them but they do look good. G & H is the way to go. I'd get less to start with and add more as possible...getting a quality product that will last

I have 3 dozen Full Curls and they are outstanding. G&H comes in second. I also like GHG Full bodies- they add some movement and realism to any spread. (especially on the bank, on a sandbar or in super shallow water)..

Great advice. No telling how many old mallard decoys get tossed or repainted as coots by guys who grow into the sport and realize the cheapo Academy decoys just won't cut the mustard. I know that I fell victim to this as I was getting started. I bought some nicer ones of this species and that species, next thing I knew I had more decoys in my man shack than will be in Georgia on opening day.
Of course, I am about to go back out to the shop and build myself a hot wire foam cutter to start making my own foam decoys. The Cherokee decoys are the only ones I have seen out there who will dance on the water in a light breeze the way that some keel-less foam decoys will. I guess that I have a problem, I just don't want to admit it yet.

GHG FFD Canada goose decoys improved my Canada Goose spread. I kill more geese now than ever before. Flocking works. I just put flock heads on my GHG mallards. They make the decoy even more life light. This is the first time I have seen the Areo decoys. You are right about the nicer decoys. But I dont have any problems with GHG Decoys And I am rough on them. The hot buys decoys I think they use cheaper paint on them I have a doz of them and the paint is come off them. I have over 200 GHG decoys from Bluebills, redheads, woodies,Pro grade goose floaters,Buffleheads, ringnecks , FFD goose decoys and full body Mallards. And I have no problem with them. But that is me. Buy the ones you like and can afford. Gander MTN sales different brands , the best thing is there is no shipping charges on decoys that will save a bunch money. The money saved on shipping you can buy more decoys are up grade to something better. Or Put savings in the gas tank. Good luck this season.
