Flyway Deputy - Mallard Drake Motion Duck Decoy (The Shed)

Move That Water.

Getting ducks to finish takes the right balance of realism, natural movement, and water motion, that's exactly what inspired the Jahpoo Flyway Deputy Mallard Drake. One of the best motion duck decoys built for the serious waterfowler, the Flyway Deputy combines water motion, body movement, and butt-up flash into one motorized duck decoy because finishing ducks takes all three.

Designed in partnership with duck decoy carver Mike Marino of Marino Decoys in Colorado Springs, CO, the Mallard Drake is your anchor. The one that goes in the water first, every time. Its iridescent green head, blue speculum feathers, and hand-painted detail are recognized by hunters and birds alike, and this mallard motion decoy puts all of it in motion. The true Deputy of the Flyways, the Flyway Deputy Mallard Drake is your one-size-fits-all motion duck decoy that is sure to bring birds to your spread.

When to run the Mallard Drake: Every hunt, every setup. Open water, flooded timber, timber holes, shallow flats, flooded rice, saltwater. The Mallard Drake is your primary motion source and the foundation every spread is built around. If you're only buying one, this is it.

How It Works

• An internal motor drives continuous body movement by shifting the decoy's weight — this electric duck decoy has no external moving parts to snag, freeze, or fail

• The Flyway Deputy's feeding motion causes ripples to radiate across the water in every direction; this is a duck decoy that moves water the way a real feeding bird does, visible to birds from high overhead

• The bright white butt-up flash catches the attention of passing ducks with every dip of the decoy, mimicking the natural phenomenon of birds feeding in the wild

• Body movement + water motion + hand-painted flash work together to create a natural motion that birds can't resist

Built to Last in the Field

• Motor, battery pack, and weighted drive system are fully self-enclosed inside the decoy and only accessible through a water-tight cap; nothing exposed to the water or the elements, nothing to get tangled

• Hand-painted feather patterns hold up season after season with a durable, hard-coat finish

• Anchor point built into the body, compatible with standard decoy rigs

Runtime & Control

• 8+ hours continuous decoy runtime on 4 AA batteries (32°F and above)

• 20+ hours continuous decoy runtime with the optional rechargeable duck decoy battery pack (sold separately)

• Remote control for duck decoy provides reliable operation from 30+ yards

"The mallard drake motion decoy worked great. I used it in a small 3-decoy spread. I had several wood duck flights fly over, turn, and attempt to land in the hole where the decoys were set. The mallard looks real; the motion adds movement to the water on a calm day." — Corky G., verified buyer
