When it comes to duck hunting, nothing does a better job of setting you apart from your neighbors duck decoy spread than a set of super magnum duck decoys. Ok, so if you are hidden in a corner out of the way and he is at the corner of the major artery you aren't going to be the one who is setting himself apart, but you get my point. First location, then decoys is what I always say. And all things considered I am a big proponent of going with magnum and super magnum decoys to set you apart from the competition.

So how should we use the super mags to our best advantage? Good question. There are several duck hunters out there that try to get everything in their entire spread to be super magnum. As a rule I don't hate this thought. The problem is applying it in practice. Let's face it, these things are pretty expensive. If I can get twice as many shoveler duck decoys or canvasback duck decoys as opposed to super magnums of the same varieties I am likely better off going that route. Things to remember, though. When head out to the duck blind, you will have less decoys to set out and pick up later. The duck decoy anchors on decoys can really add up in terms of weight and this is a factor as well if you are carrying them out into the field with you. And realistically you need less super mag decoys than regular decoys. This is a solid option if you are so inclined.
Myself, I like to mix and match with my decoys. Give me a staple of standard sized pintail decoys and teal decoys and then I will add a smattering of mallard decoys that are super magnum. If I am diver duck hunting, then I will add some bluebill duck decoys in super magnum to go along with with my standard sized ringneck duck decoys and even perhaps some sea duck decoys to set myself apart again.
As for what brands you should be targeting with your super magnum decoys, I usually try to stick to the major companies, but that is up to you. I am a fan of the way that herters duck decoys sit in the water and the name is synonymous with quality. The other major player for years now is the G&H duck decoys. Things to consider here is that you pay for what you get. These two brands will not be cheap. If you are on a budget, look into the carry-lite duck decoys or especially the Flambeau duck decoys.
When it comes to being successful out in the field a spread of super magnum decoys can definitely help your cause. Since ducks are not very spatially aware it only makes sense to go with the most visible thing you can in front of your boat. Try some this fall and let me know what you think.
