Home-made motion decoy DIY

[@bangswitch6587]

Drexel rotary tool with TWO Cutting Discs cuts a SMOOTHE line right through decoy plastic bodies.

Dremel

Try using a rubber bottom inside the decoy. It will give the ball more to grab to and maybe reduce the plastic on plastic spinging.

using this method to bring back motion quiver butts that are rusted out works great

[@redroofretriever]

Yes it does, and cheap.

[@mitchalo2]

How much noise does this make? I would think that noise might be a problem in a decoy.

[@redroofretriever]

Originally it did make noise. I lined the inside walls with a foam stickyback 2" wide tape, and now it is almost silent. The inside bottom i glued in a sandpaper disk, for traction, and can faintly here a skid sound once in a while, but I have to be close to it. I am happy with this now.

[@SaltySpade]

redroofretriever That must be why the other guy I watched do this said he used a sock.. I didn't think about why until I read this comment.

[@Bwanar1]

I'd wager that when the ducks got close enough for the noise to be an issue, it would be too late for them! ;-)

[@jamesmurphy6709]

How did the decoy work when you used it ??

[@jdarling8716]

Just buy one bro.

What brand is that decoy?

[@redroofretriever]

I have no idea. It was a cheap 6 pk, a long time ago

[@MajorHoss]

That’s pretty cool good idea 💡

[@PKAdventures]

looks pretty good, how did it do?

[@redroofretriever]

I used it several times. The weakness is the batteries only ran an hour or so. Action was good on flat water like a pond, this made good ripples on the water and moved enough to fool birds.

[@PKAdventures]

@@redroofretriever did you consider building a small battery bank? You could pretty easily rig up something relitively small with lithium batteries, or even an old cellphone battery. It wouldn't take too much work to setup, and it would still be cheap, and you could waterproof it relitively easily

[@redroofretriever]

@@PKAdventures What you see is all I did to this. You are correct, it could be expanded and improved. I just dont have the time anymore. Thanks for watching and input.

[@22veteranflyfishing]

did it work when hunting

[@redroofretriever]

Yes it did. The down side is the batteries die fast when it's real cold.

[@22veteranflyfishing]

@@redroofretriever hmmm that is badass I'm starting to think of what well can be made for hunting

[@SuperDaveno]

the struggle is real

[@imnotimportant]

Next time put the keel in a vise and use a hacksaw with a wood blade. Cuts through that decoy in about 10 seconds. That's how I take off the keels on decoys that leak to make them into field/ice decoys.

[@adambowers3914]

fill that bottom keel up with sand as much as you can pack into it hot glue gun both ends to keep the sand in

[@redroofretriever]

That is a good idea. Thanks.

[@JH-wk9gw]

was this a fail video?

[@redroofretriever]

Nope, still works.

[@masfishing1]

Thanks for your video. I had thought of trying the same idea with a cheap floating decoy head up, maybe your diver is a better idea! . But i was thinking of of how to close up hole temporarily to put in weasel and take out weasel , now i have an idea from your video. Thank you!

[@dannyatkinson3744]

Love this video

[@redroofretriever]

It was a fun experiment.

I'm looking for a way to make a RC Boat get the ducks i shoot

[@redroofretriever]

A well trained dog is my 1st choice. If you get the RC boat figured out, post a video for all to see, could be a million dollar idea.

[@22veteranflyfishing]

@@redroofretriever seeing how birds are so light in the water I have a good Ideal how to make a boat for it.

[@22veteranflyfishing]

I made the boat and it works

[@redroofretriever]

@@22veteranflyfishing Let us see it!!

[@darrelschlueter8802]

Sure is allot of work to do just to GWT motion in your spread....its too easy to buy this product it isn't that expensive....

[@redroofretriever]

You're not wrong, but who uses these duck butts otherwise? I had several to experiment with. It worked.

[@jamesmurphy6709]

use jig saw with metal cutting blade ...... I cut pvc pipe all the time

[@DavidDDeJong]

Any metal blade like for a saw zall or hacksaw would cut better. Finer teeth

[@teamnorthfowl1927]

I had something Like that but one truck weight on the bottom holds it up right but alowes more movement since it's less weight to move but mine is on the bottom of Herion marsh lol my buddy and I were out and had a wood duck hen I said to wait till she clears the decoys but 4 shot took the decoy and the duck down with it

[@redroofretriever]

What did you use to put motion into it? I might remove 1 weight and see if it gives more motion. easy to do.
