Higdon XS Floating Flasher Mallard Drake Decoy 12V
Product Description
The Higdon XS Floating Flasher Mallard Drake is a specialised motion decoy designed to grab the attention of high-flying ducks by simulating the "flash" of a mallard drake stretching its wings or landing.
Unlike standard spinning wing decoys that sit on a pole, this unit floats, making it ideal for deep water or areas where a permanent stake isn't practical, enhancing your waterfowl hunting experience.
| Feature/Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Battery Life | 10 hours on a single charge (can be doubled with an optional second battery) |
| Charge Time | Fast 3-hour recharge via an external quick-charge port |
| Power Source | 12V Lithium-Ion battery (recessed in the body for better balance) |
| Wingspan | 29.375" (74.61cm) with photo-printed feather details for realism, providing an authentic drake wingspan simulation |
| Weight (assembled) | Approximately 126.46oz (3.59kg) with body, base, hammer, and wings attached |
| Minimum Operating Depth | Can operate in as little as 6" of water |
| Motion | Natural motion using a built-in timer to create intermittent wing rotation and water surface disturbance |
| Durability | Foam-filled base for unsinkable performance and a textured "mud-coloured" float to blend in |
| Stability | Includes an anti-flipping "hammer" (weighted device) to keep the decoy upright in high winds or choppy water |
| Remote Compatibility | Compatible with Higdon’s remote/receiver systems (usually sold separately) so you can control the motion from the blind |
| Wing Details | Feather print on wings for realistic details |
| Portability | Lightweight, easy to carry for various hunting locations |
| Official Recognition | Official Decoy of Ducks Unlimited |
| Height (hammer to top of head) | 29.25" (74.3cm) |
| Height (hammer to base) | 15.5" (39.37cm) |
| Floating Base Circumference | 12.5" (31.75cm) |
Since it uses a lithium-ion battery, Higdon recommends charging the battery every 2 months during the off-season to maintain its lifespan. If the unit isn't working, the most common fix is checking the internal battery box for corrosion or ensuring the wiring harness is fully seated.
