I was just wondering if anyone has heard anything about the new Big Foots coming out. I read on another forum that they were going to have flocked heads, new body positions, and motion bases. This has me thinking I may wait till these come out before buying a few full bodies.

Word is slowly getting out about the new Big Foots. Cliff @ Flocknocker has posted up an email he received from a big wig @ BF. Looks like new goose and duck decoys - floaters & fullbodies. I think anyone buying new dekes had better wait until after the SHOT show in Feb.
I for one am done with GHG dekes, my one year old GHG CAGO OS look older then my +5 year old Foots.

Wow, those look pretty good, I may have to look into getting a few Speck dekes in the future. I wonder if those are flocked heads on the specks. Can you even get flocking for specks?

From what I have read on various sites only the Canadas will come with flocked heads. As for pricing, it sounds like the price on the street is going to remain the same. Clinton has stiff competition on the decoy market and it sounds like Final Approach's new decoys for 2006 have the durability to compete with BF - explains why F/A went and got Jeff Foiles to switch from Avery to F/A.

Thats great news that the price is probably staying the same. The only problem is that its gonna make for a tough decision for me its down to FInal Approach full bodies or the new Bigfoots.

From what I am hearing Jeff Foiles has made the jump from Avery to F/A . I think there is some durability issues they have improved on although I thought they have held up well to the rigor I put them through.

I can't say that has been my experience with 2005 GHG CAGO dekes. By the same token, I had planned on buying a dozen GHG FB mallards this summer despite my experience with their shells BUT now that BigFoot or possibly F/A making a similar product I'll likely pass on the GHG. |
