BEST Swimmer Decoy For YOU ( Lucky Duck Super Swimmer VS Higdon Outdoors XS Battleship Swimmer )

[@wc164]

To get a little more bang for your buck I let my higdon "tow" another decoy behind

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

Great idea. I’m going to have to give that a try.

[@oneinthesac]

I have the higdon and the plug rusted away after 2 uses. We hunt salt water sometimes and the plug it right in the water and with the battery power going thru it immediately ate it up

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

Me too. I started coating it in some dielectric grease

[@coltencarlson6984]

I bought a (real decoy swimmer) the one with a torpedo on the bottom side. It was cheap and now I know why, the thing maybe ran for an hour tops. I saw Higdons Bluebill swimmer and took the gamble and wowwww the birds up here love it and they will commit all day long. Currently I have 2 Bluebill swimmers along with a Canadian goose swimmer. Worth every penny

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

yeah man they work great

[@michaelnappa8774]

Looks like Higdon it is. Thanks bud

[@takeri2703]

Good information thank you. I just had my first season in my own pond that i made. Still learning alot but great times nonetheless. god bless

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

Awesome. Thanks for watching

[@kwill1911]

6V, not 12V, right?

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

Yes

[@mallardsmackeroutdoors9589]

are you supposed to texas rig the lucky duck one or does it freely swim around, i duck hunt out of a big pond and a little worried about the decoy swimming away🤣

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

Yes you definitely want to Texas rig both of them. Lol

[@davidoconnell933]

New subscriber. Thanks for the information. Definetly helped me in choosing which one I want.

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

Glad I can help. Thanks for watching.

[@chasecook3284]

So have you tried these decoys out in salt water yet? I was thinking about getting the blue bill higdon for diver ducks down here in Louisiana

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

yes. I often hunt in brackish marshes. The plug of the higdon will corrode in high salinity but that can be remedied by using some sort of electric grease.

[@ethanbragg4700]

fuck Louisiana duck hunting lol.. Monroe is tough with all these damn yahoos

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

@@ethanbragg4700 😂😂😂

[@davebutler3862]

They will rust through in 3. -5 times. Had a few of the Higdon butts.. connection is in the water. Lucky ducks are sealed!

[@TheKlt1200c]

Go with the Higdon. We had 2 Lucky Duck tippers. The first one lasted only 3 days. No-one well take a chance on the second one. The seals are VERY poorly designed. Changing is a pain. They were stripped for the recycle bin. The Higdon's are very well built. We have 2 that are 4 years old. They are used 55 out of 60 days per season. Higdon's are VERY rugged. Spend a few more bucks and get something that will last years, not days. We just bought 2 more Higdon's.

[@DrewVerdin]

What about runtime?

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

I’ve never had higdon go dead during a hunt on a full charge. I’m not 100% on the lucky duck one.

[@ericweber7707]

Very helpful video thanks for making this!

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

Glad It was helpful for you. Thanks for the feedback

[@Bender831]

I just recieved the xs swimmer and my plug that is connected to the battery has play in it is that normal?

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

Play?

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

Oh sorry I get it. It has a little play it.

[@rustrtal]

Good review. I believe they are 6volt batteries though

[@tonyfoulk2498]

Twelve volt just bought one

[@one_hand_man4015]

Are these loud ??

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

The higdon is a little loud. I wouldn’t use it in a flooded timber situation but it’s never been a problem in open marsh.

[@zachtorgerson5919]

Just saw your channel I subbed and really like your content

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

Thanks man. Much appreciated.

[@kswan2234]

Nice! Thanks

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

[@johnnyporter3487]

Does the higdon decoy make a lot of noise? I’ve had 3 pulsators and they’re great until they start making noise. Then they start flaring ducks LOL

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

It does make a bit of noise. I haven't had it flare any birds but that is one improvement that could be made on it.

[@forcemajeur.5138]

Great review. Sounds like you gotta a little Louisiana in that accent. 🦐🦐🙌

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

Lol that’s where I’m from.

[@forcemajeur.5138]

@@PelicanBoneOutdoors God's Country. Granted duck seasons have been kinda hit or miss the last few years depending on where you are. But I have faith.

[@RetrieverTrainingAlone]

I hunt at camp for 20 days with no electricity to recharge batteries up here in Alaska...looking for a swimmer that runs on D-cell batteries.

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

Man I don’t know of any off hand. I wonder if you could convert one.

[@chevyon37s]

I dont think any motion decoys run on D cells. A few like the mojo’s run on AA’s but they’re junk.

[@chevyon37s]

I found “the real decoy” has some shaker decoys that they say run aprox 30hrs on a single D cell. And you can buy two of them for what the Higdon XS swimmer costs. That said I had already purchased the Higdon swimmer and pulsator.

[@stefanomaniscalchi4983]

natural the mallard but not the pintail

[@parkerm6543]

I don’t know how you don’t have more subscribers. Your content is great for duck hunters like myself. Keep it up man

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

Thanks. I do appreciate that. Thanks for watching.

[@benandstaceyhendershott9534]

Great video

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

Thank you much

[@lesionhascovid-1928]

To charge the lucky duck I don’t believe you have to use the alligator clips the alligator clips should pull off the charging cord leaving you a charger that you can plug into the cylinder by the switch. At least that’s how all my lucky duck products work a little easier than the alligator clips

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

Nice. Thanks for the feedback.

[@lesionhascovid-1928]

@@PelicanBoneOutdoors let me know if that’s the case for this one

[@heethen112]

Look on that battery pretty sure is 6v

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

It is.

[@bobcostas1331]

Love your review but disagree with charging. I like the detachable batteries because you don’t have to haul the whole decoy in and out every time

[@PelicanBoneOutdoors]

You do have a point. 👍🏼

[@CommanderCodarino]

The new lucky duck is so much better

[@miltketchum1925]

[@omarabdelrahman3739]

Just don 't get the one called "The Natural Swimmer" form The Real Decoy" company.
