Higdon XS Mallard Drake Decoy is a floating flasher model for water setups that need movement, not just shape. The wings add short flashes of motion across the surface, which helps break up a static line of decoys. That movement is useful when the water is flat and everything else starts looking too still.

Setup stays straightforward. Place it where you want movement, switch it on, and let the floating base do its job. The photo-printed wings add visual detail, while the textured base helps the decoy sit naturally on the water. It can work in water as shallow as 15.24cm (6 inch), so you are not limited to deeper areas.

Power is one of the stronger points here. The 12V lithium-ion battery gives up to 10 hours of runtime, with about a 3 hour recharge. A second battery can be added separately if you want longer operating time. The anti-flip device and water-resistant switch also make sense for changing outdoor conditions.

Use it when your decoy setup needs visible movement without adding a large or awkward unit to carry.
