G&H Duck Decoys
G&H represents a tradition of quality decoys that have been made in the USA for over 70 years. When the federal government outlawed the use of live migratory birds for decoying purposes in 1933, John J. Gazalski realized the need for a waterfowl decoy. This inspired him to invent a lightweight, stackable decoy constructed from a substance similar to paper mache. In 1934, the first handmade "Henryettan Decoys" were produced from operations in the back of his home. In the late 1940s, Mr. Gazalski was joined by his father-in-law, J.V. Hutton, resulting in the founding of G&H Decoy Manufacturing Co. G&H decoys remain a favorite of professional guides. With their exacting raised-feather detail and realistic eyes, these decoys will have you doing a double-take when you see them on the water. Each is authentically hand-painted with natural, long-lasting, non-glare bird colors for exceptional realism that will fool the wariest waterfowl. Plus, the irridescent green coloration of the drake mallard is molded into the plastic for a superior, scuff-resistant look for the life of the decoy. They have blow-molded, high-impact plastic construction for lightweight durability. The keel is designed with tie-offs at both ends, with the front having a built-in hook for quick anchor line adjustment. Keel weight and counterbalances ensure these decoys will stay righted in the roughest chop.
