How To Use a Flashback Motion Duck Decoy

(Just Throw It in the Water)

Directions for the Flashback Decoy

Congratulations on purchasing the most realistic, effective, and durable motion duck decoy available. Each Flashback is hand-built and hand-painted in Colorado with the most durable components available by people who are passionate about waterfowling. This product is covered under patent 9,253,974. We are confident The Flashback will make you a more successful waterfowl hunter for many seasons to come.

Instructions:

Charging the PowerAnchor

Only use the charger included to fully charge the PowerAnchor before use.

A red light displayed on the charger indicates the PowerAnchor is charging. The light will turn from red to green when the PowerAnchor is fully charged. 

The fabric (wings) that covers the hole in the decoy that the head rotates through should rest on top of the hole. Do not tuck the fabric into the decoy. 

The “skimming” or surface feeding action can be used by locking the decoy cord into the designed hook on the opposite side of the decoy. This prevents the head from rotating through the decoy and will move the decoy like a surface feeding duck adding ripples and movement to your spread. Vegetation or the bottom of the wetland you are hunting can also be used to “clutch” the decoy giving it a surface feeding action. This is a great way to use the decoy if the water is less than nine inches deep.

Periodic Maintenance

The Flashback may need to have its paint touched up periodically. Apply a generous amount of the dielectric grease (included with the Flashback) to the connectors from the decoy and PowerAnchor. Shake out any water that remains in the decoy after use. Periodically check to make sure the cable glands are hand tight.

Warnings:

Hunting Safely While Using the Flashback

The Flashback decoy is very realistic in its motion and has the ability to fool other hunters into believing it is a real duck. Please set up your Flashback in a way that does not leave you or others in your hunting party susceptible to other hunters who may confuse the decoy as a real duck and shoot in your direction. Be especially careful on public land and in areas where jump shooting ducks in a common practice.
