got jokes huh? I found them at the cracker barrel in HH

thanks Grey, I'll be making mine tomorrow

The vibrating thing doesn't sound right for some reason.

its a "duck" thing

I kind of want to put that in my sig!

TreeBass- LMK how yours comes out.

and you guys are nasty!

Great idea, I stopped at Cracker B last night and picked up some balls for myself! For the cost this has to be better than the crappy vibrating duck buts that don't last more than one season.

just be easy on the great stuff

TreeBass knows what he's talking about. I sprayed in just the front and the back and let it sit for about 6 hours on the second and third ones of these I have made. Then fill in the middle and let the expansion overflow.

yeah, i tried one, found out what TB means. i used a cracked deke and this afternoon, the crack had blown out with foam bubbling out of it, oh well, trial and error. thanks for the idea Grey. plan to make a couple more... how much of a can of foam did one deke take you???

If you are going to make more than one, do them all at the same time. I do not know how much of the can I used for the one because I can never get the can to work for more than about ten hours. I would guess that you can make more than 5 with one can, just spray inside the front and the back and let it expand for a few hours then fill the middle. Unless you have experience with it that foam will expand more than you think!!! I guess I could have stated that a cracked deke will not work, but I do know that ones with holes that just happen to mysteriously be the same size as #4 steel shot will work just fine. If the hole is on the bottom of the deke I would recommend putting a tiny bit of silicone in the holes though. Also, I emptied the ballast sand out of the keel too under the assumption that makes the deke wobble easier.

I just picked up a couple weasel balls at the Cracker Barrel in Round Rock. If I get some time, I'm going to put a few together this evening.

Cracker Barrel corporate is going to wonder why there has been such a run on Weazel Balls!!!

hope they don't get wise and market them for hunting, that'll jack the price up to 29.95 each!!

I made a couple of these a week ago. They work great in the pool. Thanks for sharing.
Can't wait to put 'em in the spread in a few weeks. May have to order a couple more balls to really get the spread rockin'.

It was too easy and fun, huh?

Here was my experience when I picked up my Weasel Balls at Cracker Barrel:

Hostess: "Can we help you? Do you need a table?"
Me: "No thank you, I just need to know if you have something called Weasel Balls?"
Hostess: "We sure do, they're right over here."
Me: "Do people come in here often just to get these things?"
Hostess: "Actually, they do. They are really neat. What color would you like? We have several different ones."
Me: "It really doesn't matter."
Hostess: "Are these for a cat, dog, or a kid?"
Me: "They are for a duck."
Hostess: (Sincere corny voice announcing to the other Hostesses) "Awwwww, that is so awesome; Ya'll, he has a duck."
Me: "No, No, it's not a live duck."
Hostess: "???? You have a.... dead.... duck?"
Me: "No, it is for a duck decoy"
Hostess: (Looks very confused.)
Second Hostess: (Loudly wispers and explanation to the gathered Cracker Barrel employees) "He is going to use it to kill other ducks".
Assembled Employees: "Gasp" "Awwwww"
Me: "Thanks"

That is what you get when you buy Weasel Balls in the Austin area.

Freakin Hilarious!!!

lmao! i can just see it

how much do weasle balls cost?

$8 at Cracker Barrel, my friend.

Grapevine had a special of 2 for $12! They had plenty of them.

This thread is greatness!

I used a small can of great stuff and filled 2 decoys (overfilled I should say) If you're doing one, might as well make a few. I cut out a 4x4 square and then made a hinge out of a peice of rubber, A little gorilla glue worked great.
Similar to what Grey did, I cut off most of the keel to make it more top heavy...don't know if it helps or not. I also plan on putting the ball inside a latex glove before it goes in the decoy to make sure it stays dry.

Ok I just bought 2 of them at Cracker Barrel and will start making them this evening. A couple of thoughts: what about using them in smaller decoys like teal? Would that give more motion/ripples, or would it make it have too much motion gyrating all over the place? Also, what about cutting a bigger hole for the ball to sit in so it actually moves around a little in the decoy? Again though, this may make too much motion to be realistic.

Are your balls small enought for teal? I'm pretty sure mine aren't but I haven't tried yet...

Well I will find out when I get home from work. I just assumed they would fit though.
