Review
Dakota Decoy Company makers of Dakota X-Treme decoys are the new brand on the street. The name and company may be just four years old but these waterfowlers have been involved with decoy making for a long time. This last fall waterfowl season was our first for testing the X-Treme Mallard decoys. These are beautiful looking blocks and when I received to test, I thought they might bust right out of my hands and head south. They are 16 inches long; the drakes go through a 24 step painting process and hens a 16-step process. Each dozen has six different head styles and spin a full 360 degrees. They suffered no paint loss or chipping and all my decoys take a beating. They look authentic on the water and ride well in strong winds. The Dakota X-Treme Mallard decoys rank high on our meter for realism and superiority and we test a bunch of decoys.
The following infomation provided by Dakota Decoys.
Here in the heart of Central Flyway we are blessed with season long bunches of mallards. From our state hatched birds in October to the latest migrating flocks in December, they seem to never end! We took our time on our mallards and have designed unquestionably the most life like duck decoy on the market.
The first thing you will notice is the most life like, hand painted finish ever put on a hunting decoy. Our drakes go through a 24 step painting process, and our hens go through a 16 step painting process. This attention to detail is evident the minute you lay eyes on these decoys!
Upon further inspection, you will notice the six different head styles in each dozen. These multiple heads come attached to the decoy, but will spin a full 360 degrees, to give your spread the most realistic look ever achieved with decoys.
These decoys are manufactured out of the same 60/40 blend of high and low-density polyethylene that has been proven extra tough on our goose decoys. We are able to attain the most durable paint possible, to give you years of trouble free use. The decoys are slightly oversized, measuring 16” in length. They have a weighted keel designed with the hunter in mind. We have added a cleat to the front of the keel to lengthen or shorten lines to the desired depth of water.
The decoys are packaged in dozen packs with seven drakes with four unique head styles, and five hens with two head styles. One look at these and you will agree… duck hunting will never be the same!
