Description

If your spread looks like a kiddie pool full of plastic ducks, the greenheads notice. The Avian-X Topflight Open Water Pack is built for hunters who are tired of decoys that lean, fade, and float like a brick after one rough morning. Six life-size mallards, four different postures, and a weight-forward swim keel that does the work for you when the wind picks up. This is the kind of realism that pulls birds off the rafts and finishes them feet down in your hole.

The combo of two low-head drakes, two high-head drakes, a swimmer hen, and a high-head hen is no accident. That mix reads as a content, relaxed group of mallards from the air, which is exactly what cruising birds are looking for late in the season. The high-head postures give your spread visibility and movement, while the low-head and swimmer postures add the calm, feeding look that closes the deal. Snap your jerk line or motion rig right to the swim clip and these things wiggle and swim like the real thing.

What really separates Avian-X is the paint. The no-flake finish stays on the bird where it belongs, not on the inside of your decoy bag. The detail holds up under sunny skies, the bodies take a beating in the boat, and the keels keep them upright in chop that would roll lesser decoys belly-up. For open water hunters chasing big mallard flocks, this six-pack is one of the smartest additions you can make to your spread.

Why Hunters Love It

Open water hunters live and die by realism. When birds have been pounded for a month and have seen every spread on the flyway, the smallest details matter. The Topflight Open Water Pack consistently gets credit for finishing pressured mallards because the postures look natural, the paint matches a real drake in late-season plumage, and the swim keels keep everything moving even on a light breeze.

Hunters also love that these are built to last. Buy them once, run them hard, and they keep working season after season. That is the kind of value that matters when you are stacking decoys for a serious open water rig.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many decoys come in the Avian-X Topflight Open Water Pack?
The pack includes six life-size floating mallard decoys: 2 Low-Head Drakes, 2 High-Head Drakes, 1 Swimmer Hen, and 1 High-Head Hen. The posture mix is designed to mimic a calm, content group of birds.

Will these decoys ride well in rough open water?
Yes. The weight-forward swim keel is built specifically for open water conditions, keeping the decoys upright and adding natural swim motion in wind and chop where lighter decoys tend to roll over.

Can I use these on a jerk line or motion rig?
Absolutely. The swim clip on the keel lets you snap a line directly to the decoy so it swims back and forth on the water. They work great on jerk strings, current rigs, and trolling motor setups.

How durable is the paint compared to other floater decoys?
Avian-X uses a no-flake paint process with strong adhesion that holds up to bag wear, sunlight, and pellet hits far better than typical floater finishes. Expect them to look fresh after several hard seasons.

Are these decoys good for small water hunts too?
Yes. While they shine on big water, the realistic paint and varied postures make them a top choice for flooded fields, river setups, beaver ponds, and timber holes where pressured birds need extra convincing.

Do the keels come pre-rigged with line and weights?
No, the decoys come with the keel and swim clip ready to use, but you will need to add your own decoy line and weights based on the depth and current you are hunting.
