Pro Grade Divers

[lmhans4440]

Any Ideas for next year? I would like to see some Pro grade Bluebills or canvasbacks, and maybe ringnecks and redheads also. What are your thoughts?

I doubt anyone needs progrades to kill divers

but you got to keep in mind, greenhead gear is going pro-grade now for marketing reasons. they will keep producing little by little to sell us on the product, and then we'll buy every decoy that comes out. example...this year it was wigeon, teal, and mallards. so a lot of us bought all three thinking ah, it's not that much. then next year they'll come out with another 3 or 5 or so and we'll buy all of those too.
you are right, we don't really need them. but when greenhead gear produces pro-grade divers we will see how good they look and will have to buy them.
if i had to choose, i would like to see spoonies, red heads, and coots. i hunt in southern california so those are the main divers we see. coots for confidence decoys, spoonies because it will be hilarious to watch them dive right into the spread, and red heads because who doesn't want to shoot one? plus, those birds are sweet.

I would be happy with one consistent diver size, with hens. Pro-grades would be outstanding, but may not be sufficiently profitable for divers. Still, it makes you think...It would make an awsome looking spread.
