We have two categories of
working fish decoys.

The first is a basic spearing decoy painted in the bright colors needed to attract Pike and Muskie.

For proof that they really work, see Jim’s Pike and two trophy Muskie.

You'll notice, he's still winning ribbons for his fish decoys!

These decoys have metal or plastic fins. They have been weighted with lead and carefully balanced to achieve realistic swimming action. Jim has tested each decoy to be sure they run just right -- he’s so fussy.

The second category is our fancy fish decoy, made for the collector. These decoys are carved and painted to depict their individual species. They are weighted, as fish decoys should be, but may not be properly balanced for swimming.
