Best Flocked Decoys 2026
Updated: Sep 19
Flocked decoys are one of the easiest ways to add realism to your decoy spread.
What are Flocked Decoys?
When it comes to fooling weary ducks and geese, realism is the name of the game…
And one of the things that can flare birds at the last second is glare any glare off your decoys.
I mean, they are just big hunks of plastic after all.
The best way to avoid this and to add an extra layer of realism to your decoy spread is to run flocked decoys
Flocked decoys have an extra layer added on them to avoid any shine or glare and to look the same texture as a bird’s feathers.
It doesn’t seem like much, but when it’s late in the season and these birds have seen every type of decoy under the sun…
The little things like a flocked decoy can make all the difference.
Flocked Head vs Fully Flocked Decoys
Like everything with decoys, at some point price becomes a factor.
Since flocked decoys have an extra layer on them and take a little more work to put together, they run a little bit more expensive than your standard decoys.
So to give waterfowlers more options, most companies will have flocked head and fully flocked options.
These are basically what they sound like…
Flocked head decoys only have flocking on the head of the decoy.
And since in a lot of decoy postures, that’s the first thing birds will see, having a flocked head on your decoy can get you 60% of the benefit of a full flocked decoy without the extra cost.
Fully flocked decoys are just that, decoys that have flocking all the way down the decoy.
If you have the budget for it, these can really take your decoy spread over the top.
