Overview
Built for hunters who want a compact mallard spread, these floaters are designed to add realism without taking up much room in the boat or blind bag. Foam filling helps keep them afloat, while the forward-weighted keel is intended to help them sit naturally in the water and speed setup. Bright, high-contrast paint, deep texturing, and varied postures and head positions give the spread a more convincing look, and the front clip supports shorter stringing in shallower water. The six-pack includes 4 drakes and 2 hens, making it a practical option for building a small, versatile setup.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- These are slightly smaller than average real ducks, so they may read as a compact profile in the spread rather than full-size floaters.
- The 6-pack includes 4 drakes and 2 hens, which may not match every spread ratio or hunting setup.
- The forward-weighted keel and front clip are geared toward quick setup and short-stringing, but they are specifically described for shallower water use.
- Foam filling is presented as making them unsinkable, but that also means the design is focused on durability and float stability rather than ultra-light construction alone.
