Description

If your spread looks like every duck in the county just chugged an energy drink, you have a problem. Mallards looking to land want to see other mallards already chilling out, and that is exactly what the Avian-X Topflight Rester/Preener Pack delivers. Six floating decoys, posed in the relaxed positions that say "the food is good and nobody is shooting," which is the only sales pitch a working pair of greenheads actually listens to.

Each decoy in this six pack is carved with real feather detail and painted by hand using Avian-X's flat, UV resistant finish. That means no glare on bluebird mornings and no washed out blobs when the sun finally breaks through the fog. The self righting keel is weighted to pop these birds upright every single time, even in chop, and the line tie is heavy enough to take repeated tugs from a current or an over caffeinated lab. Mix them into a spread of active feeders and swimmers and you give finishing birds the full picture, loafers in the middle, motion on the edges, and a hole begging to be filled.

We have been outfitting waterfowlers since 1998, and Avian-X has earned its place in our lineup because the gear just plain works. These decoys ride in the truck, ride in the boat, get stepped on, get frozen to the strap, and still look like ducks when the next season rolls around. Add this pack to your rig and watch the difference confidence postures make when the birds are working their fourth lap.

Why Hunters Love It

Ask any guide who runs ducks for a living and they will tell you the same thing, the rester and preener birds are the ones doing the real work in the spread. Active decoys grab attention, but lazy birds close the deal. This Avian-X pack nails those quiet postures perfectly, and the paint stays sharp through season after season of mud, ice, and ride home naps in the dog kennel.

Hunters keep coming back to these because they look right at 40 yards, look right at 4 yards, and survive the abuse that kills cheaper decoys by Thanksgiving. If you want a spread that birds actually commit to, these are the loafers you want in the kill hole.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many drakes and hens are in the pack?
The six pack comes with a mix of drakes and hens in resting and preening postures. The blend is designed to create a natural looking loafing group with the right balance you would see on real water.

Are these decoys good for big water or just small ponds?
Both. The weighted self righting keel handles chop and current well, so they work in everything from flooded timber holes and beaver swamps to big river sets and reservoir spreads.

Will the paint flare ducks on sunny days?
No. Avian-X uses a flat, UV resistant finish specifically formulated to kill shine. Even on those bluebird late season days when birds are picky, these decoys will not light up like cheap plastic.

Do they come with decoy line and weights?
No, the pack includes the six floating decoys only. You can rig them with your preferred line, weight, and Texas rig setup to match the depth and current where you hunt.

How do these compare to the Topflight Backwater or Oversized Mallards?
The Rester/Preener Pack focuses purely on relaxed confidence postures. The Backwater and Oversized lines offer different sizes and active poses, so most serious hunters mix all of them to create a realistic, varied spread.

Are they durable enough for late season ice and rough handling?
Yes. The bodies are built tough, and the keels and line ties are designed for hard use. They handle frozen mornings, sled drags, and tossed bag storage better than most decoys on the market.
