RE: What's a good decoy to get that looks real and easy to set up?
I just bought a Flambeau Master Series Jake - the head on that decoy is in a class of its own. My only complaint is that they attempted to paint-on an irridescent sheen on the body and it looks too "green." That's an easy fix with a can of gloss-black spraypaint.
I've had really good luck with dekes in the past. I always painted my jakes' heads for realism. This one will require no work.
The stake that it comes with is bobo, but I have tons of extra stakes that will suffice. It is the most realistic jake decoy on the market today (with a touch of black added at home).
