Gengo, I know the cheapo teal dekes I have were too small. And I would guess the ball not fitting snug and moving around would make noise. But give it a try and if its too noisy all you have to do is spray a lil more foam in and re-carve the hole.

BTW- I forgot to say that I used a new fangled legal patent when I made the first ne of these. All of you guys owe me $10 bucks per deke you make... thats the rules... that I just made up, just now.

Great idea Grey. Seems like most are having way too much fun with this. Just a couple of observations and maybe you have them covered already. With most cutting out right on top of the decoy will that not allow water to leak down into the hole where the ball is ? I'm talking about an all day downpour. I doubt that the balls are waterproof. Next, if you have one or maybe a dozen like some are planning, how are you going to find them, to turn them on, amongst the other decoys at 4:00 a.m. ? Won't they all look alike ?

The easiet way to turn them on at 4 a.m. is to just let your buddy do it, preferable your buddy named Danny.

I realize this is an old thread but I got a question on youtube about it and thought I'd bring it TTT in case someone new wants the idea for the upcoming season.

Wow, you are really doing some cool work. Mine was a bit simpler and not near as cool.

Thanks, this one was actually very simple. I'll be a lot faster with my next ones but it's not hard. Hopefully the next set will be better...Can't wait to finish the weasel ball custom!

Kids I have used weasel balls for 20 years when you could get them from KBtoys. Just use a SOCK!!! cut a U-shap to the back of a cheep deek like a flap. A little water will not hurt.

enough with the foam. just use a sock. it will settle in the front. batteries will last about 4 hours.

Who still carries weasel balls? Toy R Us? Ducks love decoys with weasel balls.

Re-bump for folks who might not have seen this. I haven't been able to hunt ducks since 2010 and I'll be breaking out my homemade deke.

Another variation someone might want to try is to pick up one of the RC submarines from Radio Shack or a toy store for $20 give or take and mount it into the decoy. I have seen posts on an RC forum before where people where filling a duck decoy with foam and mounting the toy submarine into the bottom of the decoy. Some even mounting a cheap wireless security camera inside the front of the decoy. The one I remember seeing, the toy submarine used had three RC adjustable props on it.

That's a pretty high speed idea, John. I'll have to figure that one out next year.
