Thanks for the review. I have multiple Higdon pulsating decoys and I’ve had issues with the wire breaking off at the bilge pump. It breaks off right at the pump so repairing is impossible. Higdon replaced the broken bilge pumps but I see that this is a point of failure for the Higdon model due to the fact the wiring is exposed and is constantly pulled on when recharging daily. I’m going to try the Lucky Duck model next season as it looks like the noted point of failure on the Higdon model is absent on the Lucky Duck agitator.
Thanks for watching. Let me know after next season how the lucky duck works out for you
Just love your videos and I like both of them
👍🏼
I have a Higdon and need to replace the pump due to wiring issues . After watching both together it appears that the lucky duck makes more ripple .
I've got a 2 year old pulsator that is on season 3. It's not hard but you have to maintain them daily.
Fantastic video! I’ve considered a pulsator recently. Season just ended though so maybe something for next year. So I’ll be back on this video for sure 😁
Where are you from that your seasons over already?
ive ran mine for 4 years and its going strong. I dont baby anything either. I plan on adding a couple more to the spread over the years. Especially considering they sell parts if anything breaks.
The fragility of the Higdon wiring, especially where the wiring enters the pump is a constant point of failure. I’m sick of it. I just gave away 4 old pulsators (box style) and 5 new style pulsators, and a swimmer. I have had it with them. I became an expert on fixing them, and actually “stocked” spare parts! Ridiculous. They could have spent a few more bucks and made that an excellent product. They are deadly effective, when they work! I’m gonna get a half dozen lucky ducks this year and see how it goes.
I was looking at these feeder/agitator decoys to add some motion to my usually dead water hunts. But I'm curious, what is the minimum depth of water these things will reliably function in? I'm struggling to find any mention of minimum depth requirements.
I’m not 100% sure to be honest. You should have a problem with anything 8” or more. I’ve used it in less but it might depend on what the bottom consists of.
Good stuff
Thanks man.
Man I seriously want your advice on this on so I hunt a huge lake down here in our home state of LA. I hunt it when the winds are about 7- on up do you think it’s worth getting any of these decoys or not? I heard some people say they are too loud & you think the waves might be too big for them (2 to 3 foot) also I’ll only be using this for divers.
I wouldn’t. With the wind and waves you’re describing, that should be putting plenty of motion in your spread. These decoys are meant to mimic puddle ducks also, so I do t think it would a whole lot good attracting divers.
@@PelicanBoneOutdoors thank you for giving your advice & thoughts! I’m going to be watching your stuff man so keep it coming!
@@chasecook3284 thanks man. Anytime.
Question...does the Higdon " squirter" have an intake filter so it doesn't clog up with weeds?
It’s not really a filter but the cage around it has fine enough slats to keep stuff out. I’ve never had any issues with it.
Thank you for your speedy response !
any final advice which one is better and durable ?is it effective to waterfowl early season ?
This will be the 3rd season for my higdon and it’s still kicking. As for the lucky duck, the first time I took it out hunting I threw it from the boat (like an idiot) and the body and pump separated. I didn’t go get it right away and the pump part wound up sinking and I never could find it. So there’s that. Lol
@@PelicanBoneOutdoors thanks for reply , if the lucky duck parts were attached well do you think it will be better ? I think salt water lack may effect on the higdon plugs
@@ahmedfarrag1147 if your going to use higdon in the salt you defiantly need to use something on the plug. I had to change mine after using it a couple times in the brackish marsh. I think the lucky will work great as long as you place it and don’t try to sling it out like a regular decoy.
@@PelicanBoneOutdoors thanks a lot , just received my lucky duck it came with on/off switch and the butt part is a one unit with the upper part , the did a great modification
@@ahmedfarrag1147 sweet!!
Which decoy do you like or prefer the best? The higdon or the lucky duck sir?
I’m not sure. I haven’t used the lucky duck on any hunts yet so I don’t want to pick one just yet.
@@PelicanBoneOutdoors how do you like the higdon decoy out on your hunts? Do they provide more motion with or without the plastic tubing to the squirting part?
@@adrianvillalobos1743 I love the higdon. I like to use it with the tube on calm mornings. If it’s already windy taking the tube out might give you more action.
@@PelicanBoneOutdoors thank you so much sir, I really appreciate this information a lot
Look inside the lucky HD agitator there is a switch 1, 2, 3 . This does different things
Thanks for the info.
Never heard anyone say Higdon like that haha!
😂
The right way?
Lucky duck no exposed wires
Do not buy the lucky duck. Both the ones I bought quit working right away. Filled with water and were fried.
How much did you use it that sucks did you tighten the cap all the way down I just got mine day before yesterday never have used it
One worked 3 hunts the other about 8. Hardly worth a few hundred bucks. Yes I tightened the cap
The fist time I used mine I thew it out a lil too hard and the top separated from the bottom. I didn't go get it right away and it ended up sinking. Never could find it. 😂.
Looks like the lucky duck is the winner
HIGDON SIMPLE AND I HAVE BOTH 12 OF THEM THE LUCKY DUCK LEAKS BAD AND SWITCHS GO1 THEN LUCKY DUCK CANT SUPPLY THE SWICHS!!!! I HUNT 45 TO 60 DAYS AND THATS THE FIELD TEST FACT!
The first hunt I went to use the lucky duck, I wasn’t thinking about it being held together with a magnet and I threw it out instead of just setting it out and the top and bottom separated. The bottom wound up sinking and I never could find it again. Gone forever. 😂
