I have Bigfoot floaters, G&H floaters, Herters and Carrylite floaters and a dozen GHG floaters. IMO the Bigfoot look the most realistic on the water. My GHG only got used a couple times last fall and a couple are flaking paint pretty badly. I don't mind repainting decoys once in a while but I think they should hold paint longer than that. Forgot to mention that I have also some cork Canada decoys. These look good, ride the water good and have never been repainted in about 20 years. The drawback to the cork is the weight. As far as silhouettes the Realgeese are a real bargain and do work quite well. Since my old partner passed away 7 years ago they don't all get used as much. We used to take two boats, one just for decoys the other for the remaining decoys, dogs and us. I still hunt just don't take so many decoys out.
