For Avian-X, designing a decoy as real-looking as the ducks flying overhead requires carefully observing wild ducks and commissioning the world's best decoy carvers to craft true-to-life models.
From dabblers to divers, there's an Avian-X Topflight decoy for every duck hunter.
Above the water, Topflight decoys employ the precise size and shape, realistic postures and intricate feather details of real ducks that'll fool even the weariest waterfowl. Below the water, a weight-forward swim-keel design creates authentic movement on the water.
Snap the line through the integrated swim clip and let the wind and waves do the rest.

Little things make a big difference when decoying shy ducks. Topflight decoys come in 16 different packs, mimicking specific species, habitats and seasons of the ducks you hunt. Early and late season Teal and Mallard packs match the plumage of ducks at that time of year-drab early on and in full-color plumage later in the fall. Open, and Backwater packs vary the head positions with a higher head in the open versus a lower feeding position in the back. Fusion packs add variety to any decoy spread with six unique decoys, including a mix of drakes and hens. Magnum-sized diver decoys ride naturally over the waves thanks to their broad base.
Avian-X Topflight decoys sell in 6-packs and include packs for Mallards, Black Ducks, Widgeon, Gadwall, Blue-winged Teal, Green-winged Teal, Pintail, Wood Ducks, Bluebills, Canvasbacks and Redheads.
