Here is a link to the product you are talking about. However, if you are serious about trying to build a snow goose spread I would seriously consider saving some extra money for a few more months or until next spring and buy some better quality decoys, even if they shells. I think you will be happier with that decision.

whatever you buy rags, shells, fullbodys, make shure you don't forget to get some kites or something in the air because you never see a flock of snow without any birds in the air.

I know that you are looking for rags, but I think that you will be happier with the full bodies. I know that you could use less decoys if you went to the full bodies instead of rags. The realism of the full bodies is unbelievable and the birds love them. If I were you, I would save your money and go with some of the full body snows and blues.

I would have to agree with Curt. We used around 1100 rags last year and 3 1/2 dozen fullbodies this year and our success this year was much higher than last year. The birds finished better and the consistency was great.

I remember shooting snows and blues over bakery bags 15 years ago. I guess that they have just become that smart over time. I would take less of a good quality looking decoy over volume of marginal decoys any day.
Thanks,

The rags are junk. They haven't held up worth a crap for us. I really like SiloSocks. Look good in 0 wind, don't take up a lot of space, and look good.
I would also advise shells over fullbodies. A very good snow hunter used to use (until we bought them) about 8 dz. G&H shells. Since snows approach from the top, you don't really need fullbodies (he did buy 15 dz. GHG's). He put them up on the stakes and said with wind they wobbled a little and still looked like a fullbody from the air. I would wait for the 5/8 shells!

The 5/8 Shells are going to be a great addition to adding some numbers to your spread without breaking the bank.
If we can talk you into 5/8 canada decoys just use the snow mold to keep price down. You already have the ffd so making a super realistic decoy again does not make sense. affordability and portability are what will drive sales on this decoy. leave out any extras like stakes and bags and such. hunter series paint will do also. thanks for the chance to give input 1 person at a time.
