I like feather flex and carrylite. I use 1 featherflex hen 1 feather flex jake and one carrylite hen. I try to stay away from inflatable and the really shiny ones.

Go to a large sporting goods store such as Gander Mountain, Cabela' s, or Bass Pro Shops. They should have at least one decoy from every brand they sell set up all in a display so you can see for yourself.

In my opinion, when compared head to head with any other decoy, the Delta line is the most realistic and also the most durable due to being made of rubber now rather than foam. Delta now even makes a self inflating decoy for inflatable decoy fans. They still look like the Delta collapsible instead of looking like a painted balloon though. Very nice.

What is wrong with shiny?? I keep reading about objections to shiny decoys on this site. Have you ever seen a turkey in the sun? To me, the Sceery inflatables are great!! They are easily portable, lightweight, take only a few seconds to put out, have an anti-spin stake setup, and have a nice shine so they appear lifelike. They don' t shine in the shade, so if you put them in the shade they' re not shiny, and if you put them in the sun, they shine, just like a wild turkey. I like ' em!!

I have been using the feather flex. I just bought 1 jake and 2 three-postion hens in the feather flex siguature series. they look good and are thicker foam than other brands, they pop into shape better and have no memory, just like me.
