-: Hey everyone, it's Chris Ingram,
Digital Editor at Wildfowl.
I wanted to talk to everybody
about the new HydroFoam Diver Series decoys
from Heyday Outdoor.
Now, if you recall recently
Lifetime Decoys is now known as Heyday Outdoors.
So same great brand, same great products, just a new name.
We've known for a while about their incredible
foam floater decoys.
They've got 'em available in lots of different
dabbler species, as well as goose floaters.
But now for us diver hunting addicts,
we have bluebills and redheads.
So same great design as all the other HydroFoam decoys.
Now, just in a signature series
for the redheads and bluebills.
What you're gonna find is a hollow-body decoy.
These are incredibly light.
Each decoy has two removable weights
in part of this dual-keel system,
and you're talking, with the weights in
16 1/2 pounds per dozen.
Take the weights out and you're looking at
10 1/2 pounds per dozen decoys.
So if you hunt divers, you know that weight matters.
You're dragging out several dozen decoys, long lines, drops,
all that different stuff.
So I do a lot of walk-in hunting from shore.
So I care very much about lightness.
So these new decoys are great, incredible detail,
really kind of high relief.
Of course, three-dimensional, this deep carving,
they look awesome.
The dual-keel system offers a lot of stability
on the water, life-like motion, low wind conditions
and they're certainly gonna handle some rough waters too.
You've got easy-attach eye bolts
on front and the back of the decoy.
So however you want your birds to face
you've got lots of options here.
Very (fist tapping) durable design.
You're not gonna sink these,
they're pretty indestructible here.
They're gonna last you forever.
What I really like about these decoys
is that I can use them on the gang rigs or long lines,
as well as Texas rigs and jerk strings.
So, however you like to put your decoy spread together
there's lots of options and versatility for you.
In addition to these new great decoys,
Heyday Outdoor offers a long line
of different rigging equipment.
So they've got their gang rig, or their long line,
they've got jerk strings, and Texas rigs
of different lengths and weights.
So I like to use a combination of both.
I set my strings out and I put some single drops
as blockers.
And that however you like to hunt, this entire system
offers a lot of versatility and flexibility,
whether you're hunting out of a boat,
from shore, you're on the Broadwater, you're on a river,
they've got it all for you.

Thanks for watching
and I hope you have a safe and happy hunting season.
