This is my honest review of the Higdon XS Pulsator water motion duck decoy.
No wind? No problem! No matter the condition, the NEW and improved XS Pulsator is the ticket to adding portable water motion to your spread. This Signature Higdon product has quickly become a staple for serious duck hunters who want to add a huge impact on their set-up with a one-piece, easy to use unit. Simply attach a decoy-cord and weight and drop into the water for a quick set-up. Unit has a built-in digital timer that surges a highly visible spray of water and significant surface water disturbance, creating an ultra-realistic rocking/feeding motion that drives ducks wild. Add multiple units to your spread and watch your decoys come to life. With bright, high-contrast paint and deep, realistic carving, Higdon's XHD Hyper-Feathering makes these beautiful decoys spring to life. The XS Pulsator has an internal 12V 3amp lithium ion battery and timer that is built within the decoy housing which eliminates a traditional battery box attachment. Lithium Ion batteries are more durable, smaller and lighter in weight and are longer lasting versus the traditional lead acid batteries. No external battery box means less bulk and less weight. A single XS Pulsator can fit into most slotted decoy bags for easy transport. Recommended water depth is water as shallow as 6 inches. Runtime: 7hrs. Fast recharge time of 3 hours. An additional battery can be added (sold separately) that will double the battery life. Package contents: decoy butt with attached 750GPH bilge pump, battery and timer pre-installed within the internal battery box, charger and operating instructions.
• Ultra-realistic rocking and feeding motion
• Built-in timer surges a brilliant spray of water
• Easy to use, lightweight one-piece design
• Operates in as little as 6” of water
• Long lasting 7-hour runtime
• Internal battery charges in just 3 hours

After reading some of the comments, it sounds like most of you need to get one of these bags from Rogers: rogerssportinggoods.com/rogers-4-slot-water-motion-decoy-bag/
I have 6 pulsators and have had to fix a few. couple tips...if/once you get enough of them...and they break down its cheaper to buy replacement parts to keep up an arsenal of them.
2nd tip...take some liquid electricians' tape and dab some on all wire connect areas (bilge pump). keeps the wires from braking. Hopefully the new battery pacts Higdon came out with will last.
Just brought one this year, opening day here in NZ is tomorrow. Can't wait to see how it goes!
!
Have you seen the Animator from Blue Bird Waterfowl?? Love to see you do a video on it!
Love hearing this because I just bought 2! Great deals at Rogers. Can’t wait to try them out.
I absolutely love them. Perfect for a still morning to get some ripples on the water.
I got 6 and I love mine
Mine broke 4-5th hunt in, didn’t stand the cold.
Worked for a few hunts then the clip broke off that holds the pump.
Man I bought some Lucky Duck ones to use last year. Felt like ducks didn't like them at all. Always ended up pulling them and throwing out a normal jerk rig. That's just here in So IL where we hunt I guess.
Where did you buy your replacement bilge pumps? I had that same problem with my cords snapping off and I need to replace 2 bilges.
they sell parts
I really wish we could use these on the West coast!
Where are you from and why can’t you use them?
@@Jacob25yt All West Coast states (Oregon, WA, CA) outlawed them years ago. It's pull string motion, or wind driven only. Nothing mechanical.
@@tazoutdoors Oh, well I’m not sure about Oregon or Washington but they’re legal in California. I live in California and we’re allowed to use battery powered spinning wing decoys (I use mojos) starting Dec.1st. As for pulsators or other powered decoys that make ripples, they are allowed all season. I hunt a club in California and most of the members use pulsators. I rarely hunt refuges but I know a lot of people that do who use pulsators throughout the season and spinning wing decoys (starting Dec. 1st) and they have never been stopped by a warden or told that they aren’t allowed to use them. I’ve also been to multiple Ducks Unlimited dinners throughout central CA where they literally have spinning wing decoys/pulsators as part of raffles/auctions, so I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t be handing them out if they were illegal. Hope I didn’t sound rude, just wanted to let you know in case you hunt in CA. Don’t want you missing out on using them and missing opportunities to potentially get more birds in range! 👍
@@Jacob25yt Ah, very interesting! No not rude at all, this is good info. I totally just assumed CA was just as strict as us up here. I hunt Oregon and Washington so I know the mojos are illegal here, but as for pulsators and what not I definitely should look into that more. Would love to at least use those. I am sometimes rolling with 2 pull string flappers and 1 jerk rig for ripples. Throw a dog into the mix and it gets pretty challenging trying to avoid tangles. Thanks for the info!
@@tazoutdoors Honestly with the way California is I’m surprised we’re allowed to use them if theres other states that aren’t ha. I had no idea that they’re some states that aren’t allowed to use them, and I hear you on the jerk rig. Stopped using ours so our dog wouldn’t get tangled lol.
Spinning decoys don't work at all where I hunt cause every one has one here . Jerk rigs still work on some days.
I have 2 pulsators and both broke, I had one the whole bottom part with the bulge pump snapped off and can't be re attached. The other the tube snapped off at the bulge pump. They were great til they broke but I'm getting lucky ducks for the main reason that it has a remote.
If there’s less than 4mph or in timber then yes
The pump broke off of Both of mine
Love em but they don't love me. Higdon seem to last only a year no matter which I buy. Lots of glue and screws.
Higdon makes the WORST pulsator, they break in under 1 season reliably, I’ve gone through 4 and have a few buddies that all have the same PLURAL issues. Get the ghg or any other brand from every hunter I’ve ever talked to. The internal hinge pin is not long enough and breaks if you ever have to service them horrible designs internally as well
