This elegant puddle duck with lots of white showing on the drake is a
welcome visitor to most hunters decoy spread. Found in every flyway yet
plentiful in only certain locations, it makes a highly visible addition
to your rig. Each of these decoy heads is hand carved from a very light
kiln-dried basswood. Linseed oil is applied as a preservative followed
by oil paints hand brushed with color blending and feather effects. The
linseed oil draws the paint deep into the wood fibers enhancing
durability and resulting in a realistic "feather sheen". The result is
both beautiful and functional.
Pintail heads are only offered in the standard pose. Magnum (Herters 72) size is based on 16-18" body length.
Attaching the heads are easy, we include instructions with each purchase. We like to attach our heads with a 1/4" X 20 T-nut.
The machine thread matches factory eye bolts as supplied by decoy
companies such as Herters and Restle. (T-nut not included)
Our threaded inserts make it easy to attached these replacement decoy
heads to various decoy bodies. Outside is course thread, inside is a
1/4-20" thread to
accept a standard 1/4" eye bolt. Please click here to purchase threaded inserts.
