duxtrac swimming decoy machine

[cangoos]

got my new machine yesterday,,this thing is a great idea for motion in your spread.so simple to use and so natural looking.tried it out in the pond and was very pleased cant wait til season to fool those greenheads...

It looks like a knock off of the Wake Maker.

i think its so much easier to use than a wakemaker ,,plus its all one unit no set up besides there are all kinds of products out there that are similar dont you think?

[The Duck Hammer]

Yep. I'm also confused on the selling point that there are no stakes required yet you have to use one for the battery box. False advertisement.

well i guess you could lay the battery box in the water next to your machine or you could fasten it to the frame if you want.it doesnt make alot of difference if you dont want to use a small peice of conduit.

[The Duck Hammer]

I was wondering how it stays in place. It would have to "walk" to an extent since it isn't staked. I figure the box stake was to keep it in place or does it sit on the bottom?

That would be completely worthless for where I hunt. Too much moss.

Imagine a wake maker on a PVC frame. Dats it. Kinda looks like a kite.

Heres the video.

It seems like a decent idea. I feel like a jerk cord with a good stretchy bungee does the same thing though.

We some gadget crazy folks, we are.

[cangoos]

well guys,,i guess im one of the first to buy one,but I can tell you its sturdy its a metal frame not pvc.i also have use pull strings and the work but I like hands free operation you just turn this thing on and it works.i have moss in my pond to but it didn't bother it I just cleared some away,i don't think theres a product out there that serves every situation but if ther is sign me up foe a case..

[The Duck Hammer]

Is the drive belt string or a rubber belt on it?

[cangoos]

its made out of bungee cord and it stays on the machine even with the decoys on it,so ifyou want to move it at any time you can,,im tellin you its cool...

Guys and Gals:
I have the privalage of hunting with the guy that invented this. We hunt in a public area were blinds are 200 yards apart and there are lots of them! I am convinced that the motion in this system works. We've pulled ducks in that I think were looking at other blinds but came in to us because of the swimming motion it creates! Get yourself one and I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

[The Duck Hammer]

How much do they cost? I never saw a price on them.

I just made that up.

[cangoos]

the machine is $199.99 and they shipped it free, but of course there was tax i think it was $216.00 all together.

[assateague]

Ok, so I didn't stretch it that far after all.

[cangoos]

Well if you dont think over 200 is a stretch .everything cost , try buying a new shotgun. Or new decoys its a rich mans game now dont you think..
