Anyone using the new Game Winner decoys?

GW is about all I use. Each year them seem to look better and better. It sure beats paying $60-80 for a half dozen of ghg's.
Usually I'll buy a few dozen GW greys and teal. Then pick up a nice dozen of ghg's to go with my spread.
Never been into using a ton of decoys, a good two dozen dekes and a jerk string is all I need.

Sweet that's what I wanted to hear

I got quite a few of them last year. Im pretty pleased with them and cant beat the price for banging through the woods.

Unless you're getting Avian X or Dakota, their non-mallard decoys are great. The gadwall and wigeon are top notch IMO. Seems like just about everyone makes good mallard decoys now and I like magnum mallards anyway, so I haven't bought those, but the other species they have are a notch just below the high dollar decoys for much lower prices.

Now if they would just make some Canada floaters on the cheap I would be set.

They sell lifetime at Cabela's. I make my own TX rigs with 400# mono, rolled strap weights, crimps and snap swivels.

I'm still using the GW decoys I picked up for $12/dozen after the season a few years ago. They look just as good and have held up for about 5 seasons.

I have some GW pintail, and gadwalls. Have had them for 3years. The paint had held up great on them, the only problem I've had is the keel cracking on a couple of them. They plastic is pretty hard on them.

The other real benefit is they are much lighter weight than most other brands. If you do a lot of walk-in hunting they make a difference

Sad when Academy's brand is better looking than some major brands.

Same with their new waders and all the other apparel and hunting shiy they sell.

My hunting partners think I'm sponsored by game winner haha

Depends how you use them. They are not as durable and the paint fades faster. But with proper care and not leaving them out all season they should do the trick for quite a while.
