B Mobile here.. Both are good though...

can you guys state what makes one better then the other for us who have never seen one close-up? i am thinking of getting one myself

I don't think that there's a huge difference between the two. I purchased the B-Mobile because I had seen a video with a lot of successful hunts so I ordered a set. I also like to idea that you can buy an extra fan holder and use it as a jake or a gobbler. I've never seen the pretty boy up close so I can't comment on it. But I can set She-mobile inside of B-Mobile and roll them both up and put them in my vest but prefer to but them in the mesh bag that came with it.

God Bless,

I have killed bird over both of them. They each have their pluses and minuses.

I think that the paint and body posture of Pretty Boy is superior to that of B-Mobile. Everything except the back of him... and honestly that in my experience is the important side because turkeys tend to confront each other either slightly quartering in from the side or straight on front. You need to have the decoy positioned AWAY from where you think the bird is going to come... just look at IL-Cornfed's picture... he's got it perfect...although he might want to put his photographer back in the blind! (j/k)

The downside of pretty boy is that he ain't easy to tote. We left ours in a rubbermaid container on our property covered up with camo burlap. It belonged to a friend of mine I hunted with, and he ended up getting stationed elsewhere, and I moved back to VA anyway. When I came back, B-Mobile came out and I bought one.

What I like about B-Mobile is that he is smaller.. which I think tends to make birds a bit more comfortable and confident to confront him. What I didn't like was the amount of memory that rubber holds, and its a real problem on cold mornings. Don't know if it makes a huge difference or not, but it bugs me. Right out of the box, the head on B-Mobile looks like he's been dead for a couple of days...very pale and blue. Granted, its probably done that way on purpose so that birds can see it better farther away (some of the best duck decoys don't really have paint schemes that look much like ducks..but they work because they hold a birds attention). But at anyrate, I repainted the head on mine and added a lot more red, white to the top and blue to the sides... also gave him ear feathers and red on his snood etc. I really really like the fan holder, and it makes carrying a real fan to use a snap.

All this said... I like B-Mobile the best, simply because you don't need a dolly or a caddy to carry all your trash into the woods to hunt. That coupled with his slightly smaller size I think make him a more useful from a hunting standpoint.

From a success standpoint, either one will work just as good as the other... if a bird is going to run from one, he'll run from either... if he's going to fight one, he'd probably come in to a black basketball with feathers coming out the back.

I can add too.
B-Mobile - Primos
Pro
1. Is easier to carry as it is smaller
2. The fold up fan is a very nice feature. To this you add real tail feathers.
3. The silk fan it comes with is nicer than Pretty boy cardboard fan
4. Do not tighten the stake nut/bolt down asn it swings with the wind and will rock back and forth
5. The synthectic beard moves well in the wind and is nice
6. Has a nice paint job.
7. Mine came with an orange mesh carrying bag with shoulder straps others I see are green.
8. Has an informative CD
9. The mesh decoy bag will hild more decoys
10. You can protect your fold up real fan by inserting into the decoy body cavity
11. Was cheaper than Pretty Boy

Cons
1. The rubber while it looks nice has a memory to it and I had to heat it quite a bit toget it to relax and bemore natural at least to my eye. It still does not look just right. I believe it was packaged while still hot which affected the memory of the rubber.
2. Adding the stake to put it in the ground is not as easy as Pretty boy
3. Atttaching the fan can be a pain.
4. Changing fans one would need another block. To date Primos has not gotten back to me if they sell them separatley.
5. did not come with a hen.


Pretty Boy - Knight and Hale
Pro.
1. Adding a real fan to this is a snap. Fits in a slit at the back of the decoy. No bolts or nuts to use
2. Does come with its own hen
3. Swings more natural in the wind than Pretty Boy
4. The decoy stake is easier to use.
5. It is quite a bit bigger than B-Mobile
6. Will accept either a Jake or Tom Fan quickly
7. Came with a super sized mesh bag to which many decoys could be carried and does have shoulder straps.
8. Look for sales can be bought much cheaper than advertized.

Con
1. The Chinese paint job sucked! I had to re-paint most red areas
2. Is quite a bit bigger than B-Mobile - so is a bit tougher to lug in
3. Has a molded beard to which I am thinnking of cutting off to add my own real rendition.
4. Did cost more - but then you did get 2 decoys


As I think of more as I sue both I will add to this.
