This video from Mossberg showcases an advanced duck decoy strategy utilizing a large spread of 192 decoys. The presenter, demonstrating high expertise, explains how mixing species like Shovelers and Pintails with Mallards enhances visibility due to their brighter plumage, effectively attracting ducks. This technique challenges the common practice of using only Mallard decoys, offering a more diverse and realistic spread.

Instruction from Jason Cruise on optimizing duck decoy spreads for Mossberg. The video highlights how high-contrast decoys like Northern Shovelers and Pintails are more visible to ducks than standard Mallards, especially on slow hunting days. Diversifying decoy species breaks the common habit of using only Mallards and can significantly improve hunting success by creating a more natural and visible spread.

This video provides a DIY guide for building a lightweight and packable jerk cord system for duck hunting motion decoys.
